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 ;)

Great font design App!!!

I own the desktop version and now this app. I love it, now I can continue making fonts on the go. It’s easy to draw and make very unique designs, It would be good in the future if we could import svg. I love how easy it is to use this app and I hope they continue adding new features. And It’s not expensive for all that you can do.

Did the whole thing for nothing 😭

Before you do this know that you have to pay to export. Other then that pretty cool app.

Developer Response ,

Hey, the first time you open the app there’s a disclaimer stating the paid option to export font files. And as a onetime fee to export unlimited fonts, it will also bring you cool new font creation capabilities in the future ;)
