Your handwriting, a real font
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your handwriting becomes a real font.
TappyType turns your handwriting into a Korean font, right on your iPad with Apple Pencil. Watch a live preview fill up with your writing as you go, then export a real font file (.ttf).
How it works
1. Write characters along the guides — baselines and tracing hints help you.
2. The live preview instantly renders sentences in your handwriting.
3. Finish the basic set, then one tap of AI Generate fills in 2,000+ remaining Hangul characters in your style.
4. Export as .ttf and use it anywhere fonts work: GoodNotes, Procreate, Keynote, Word.
AI Generate
Korean has 11,172 syllables, which made handwriting fonts notoriously hard to make. TappyType's AI learns your style from the characters you write and draws the rest to match. A few characters are enough for a complete font.
Your data stays yours
Writing, preview, and font building all happen on your iPad. Only when you use AI Generate, handwriting images are sent to our server — processed in real time and immediately discarded, never stored. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Made for
- Decorating your journal and GoodNotes pages with your own handwriting
- Creating cards, video captions, and vlog titles with a handwritten feel
- Preserving a parent's or friend's handwriting as a font — a gift that lasts
- Designers who need a personal Korean typeface
Write a few characters today. Once your handwriting becomes a font, writing never feels the same.

A quick fix update for the rough edges
- Fixed the editor getting cut off on the sides on iPhone. The top bar is now two rows, so the font name is fully visible and the preview and tools fit the screen.
- Fixed the keyboard not coming up when you tap the live preview field. Type your bias's name or your own right away.
- Fixed AI fill not reaching the server when completing the rest of your Hangul.
- You can now tap anywhere on a font card in the list to open it.
- Tidied up the first-run tour being clipped at the top of the screen.
