Font maker - Fontself 4+

Adaptable, accessible, and fast.

I'm an animator, comic maker, gamedev, and toy designer. Every single day, I need to make signage, workshop a font, or make a logo or an asset for myself that's fullynroyalty free. This app is blazingly fast, has smooth and intuitive drawing tools, and has a UI that can be picked up in seconds.

As someone who used the Mac Os add ons for photoshop and illustrator, it's absolutely incredible just how much fat is cut from that experience and put into this app with care. Fontself has truly made one of the easiest ways to make fonts for yourself with ZERO headache. The biggest cons at the moment is that the standard brush is indeed a standard singular brush; there's no brush import or vector stroke creation tools, so stylizing your strokes comes down to tweaking pressure and taper settings.

I asked the developer if image uploading will be available, and they responded (within seconds) that they are working on it. Which helps me ease into my final point: the devs. Extremely responsive, casual, and easy to ask questions to with the apps built in q/a function. They seem to truly listen to suggestions and act on them immediately.

I had to rare 5 stars. Font creation has been such a mystery to me for most of my life, and now I can make my own fonts in actual seconds. If you really want to get into making your own fonts, this is absolutely a great app to start.

Love the app! Only have a couple of suggestions.

I love this app! It makes font making accessible painless. I am a tattoo artist that has found this is a better way of doing lettering to save me time next time I need similar fonts that are unavailable for download. It’s really cool to add to what I can do on Procreate. I also noticed that the developers have listened to feedback to improve this app over time. That is why I am going to share a few ideas that I think will make this already awesome app even better. I would love to have some copy and paste options to help with consistency and speed making fonts. I also think it would be cool to be able to sketch before I draw, maybe a layer or make your own template system would be good for that.
Like I said, I love the app and am grateful to the developers. Keep up the great work!

Developer Response ,

Thrilled to hear that a tattoo artist loves this app =) You can already copy/paste by using the selection tool (the arrow): select any shape, tap the copy icon, and long-press on any other cell to paste: https://support.fontself.com/en/articles/6003458-copy-paste-shapes

As for a background image, we're on it ;) Stay tuned and please keep spreading the word around as it truly makes a difference to grow this app.

PS: feel free to send us some pics of your work via the in-app chat, we love to see what you folks are creating with Fontself...

My Favorite App!!

I absolutely LOVE this app! I’m not an artist, but I feel like one using this app. When first downloading, I excitedly made a font of my own handwriting. (I have horrible handwriting, but somehow it’s really cool having a font of your own chicken scratch.) :-) I’m now capturing the handwriting of all my loved ones. It seems like such a small thing, but knowing I’ll always have the ability to recall the unique writing from their own hand is somehow comforting. My parents especially have really wonderful handwriting. (They attended school back when that really mattered.) Now I’ll have their handwriting saved for future generations. Using this app has also inspired me to make new fonts as well. I never knew I had this creative side. Thanks Fontself for unlocking it and making this app so fun and powerful to use!
