Description
Create real vector fonts in seconds, and use them anywhere (Procreate, Photoshop, Mac, PC, etc.)
It’s really easy: just draw letters & enjoy typing with your custom typefaces. Fontself turns your alphabet into a font file you can install on any computer.
Fontself is a font creation app that allows you to draw handmade fonts, export them as OpenType files.
Key superpowers:
- Vector brushes (Brush, Pencil, Pen, Qalam reed pen & Marker)
- Pressure-sensitive brushes (via Apple Pencil)
- Export OpenType font files (.otf) to use on any Mac or Windows PC
- Preview in real-time sample texts as you draw
- Showcase your fonts by viewing or sharing customizable layout templates
- Save hours of tedious work with automated spacing & kerning
Streamlined workflow:
- Draw & generate vector fonts in a single app
- Export your fonts straight into Procreate to use them on your designs
- Manually upload fonts for instant use on Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator or else
Yes, it’s the hard truth: making actual fonts is usually a painful process which requires countless hours learning complex software, outstanding eagle-eye type design expertise, and working forever as a 14th century monk on arduous tasks like spacing and kerning your glyphs.
But at Fontself we aim to bring easy font creation to all, and thus provide you with an enjoyable app so anyone can embrace this cool medium: typography.
Fontself is powered by our advanced vector-brush engine developed from scratch and crafted with passionate indy designers & developers to match calligraphers and letterers demands. You will also benefit from over 20 years of expertise in this field, because our goal has always been to truly democratize type-making. We call this #Typocracy :)
The Fontself app on iPad is still a young work-in-progress so we will improve its features based on your feedback. And we plan a lot more typographic fun in the months & years to come. Yeah!
We hope you enjoy this app: if so, please leave a review, and in any case we are eager to see what you will create, and to learn how it can better suit your needs.
... and Welcome to Typocracy ;)

Ratings and Reviews
Pretty good app :)
It’s very easy to use, and you can make some good fonts with it - I recommend downloading if you want to have a go making fonts
An absolute gem of an app
I’m so so glad that the Fontself app exists. I don’t have/use photoshop or illustrator so I can’t use the Fontself extensions for them and other font creation software is cumbersome to use, outrageously expensive (at least for what I want) or both. With Fontself drawing out font characters feels intuitive and the tools as well as the interface are easy to grasp. You can preview your font including character and word spacing as you create it, copy across whole characters or parts of them to save time when drawing others, auto-smooth drawn lines, and fine tune your characters as they are vector drawings (won’t be pixelated and can have points repositioned).
Fantastic App
I'm loving this app. I had tried making fonts years ago when it required a piece of paper with a grid on which the alphabet was drawn, which was subsequently scanned and digitised. But this is really amazing! I’ve made fonts by drawing with my finger, and others using the control afforded by the Apple Pencil. It is heaps of fun, and I love being able to use my own typeface on notices and greetings.
