Create fonts in seconds, and use them as real vector font files anywhere (Procreate, Photoshop, Mac or PC)
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 ;)

So far I love it. So simple to use and the live preview is helpful. Worth the purchase for me!
By far the best app for creating fonts on the go

I love this app to use on my IPad on the go. It has nice features and pretty much everything you need to create a nice hand drawn font. With the multilingual options you can create a well designed font pretty fast on the iPad. I wish and will patiently wait for the developers to come up with Cyrillic support. Overall pretty happy with the app. Thank you!

This app is Awsome!
New:
- Pen Tool: place Bezier points precisely, with Fill mode for contours and Stroke mode for stroke paths.
- Shape Tool: draw circles, squares, and triangles as filled or stroked shapes.
- Fill Tool: quickly fill closed contours, with Apple Pencil hover preview on supported devices.
- Snap: align points and shapes while you draw by touching the screen with one extra finger.
These tools make it faster to draw, refine, and export polished OpenType fonts from your own handwriting, brush lettering, or custom alphabet designs.
