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 ;)

honest, honest, honest from the deepest recesses of my heart, frankly, fontself is always number 1 in my heart and I pray that it becomes number 1 in everyone's heart too, and also becomes number 1 in the world. amen. because I personally think that with fontself I can make extra money to support my parents and my family with more than enough money than we need.
I pray that everyone behind FontSelf, both the creator and the development team, will be much richer, much more abundant in all aspects of their lives, and much more useful to more people.
Lastly, a little advice, please add a font converter for all types of fonts in 1 click in the future, for example otf to ttf, web fonts, etc.
and also include direct connecting links or shortcut buttons to share and upload directly to sites such as creat**e mar**t or all market places that accept font works for direct sale and make extra money for your beloved family and both parents with only one click,
and please create whatever way you can so that fontself can produce colorful fonts and can save them to SVG font files.
Actually, I have dozens of crazy ideas and suggestions that don't make sense to write them all down now, maybe one day when I'm really ready, so this is just a small part and I think the most urgent ones right now. so thank you very much. RASMINDOS here
Nice
As per the subject
I hope to have a Chinese language version available
I just purchased this software and haven't used it yet. I hope to have a Chinese language version available
New features often
This app is great. They are adding new features often and Ames building fonts so easy.
I have made four fonts in the last two weeks
If you have ever drawn your own font in procreate, you can use this app. It's super easy to use even as someone who is left handed!
I only have two things I would change:
1) this may just be inexperience, but I don't know how I would use this app to make a grungy font, since the tools all correct curves and edges to some degree.
2) I would love to see more brushes
Best Font Creation App!
I'm in love with this app—it's sleek, intuitive, and packed with useful features. Just as Procreate revolutionized digital art by offering accessibility alongside a stunning visual user interface experience, I firmly believe Fontself is poised to do the same for lettering and typography designers.
I hope in the future that I will be able to create alternative characters and ligatures. I also hope to be able to group font families and sign my fonts, that would take this to a whole new level. :)
Great and Free!
After a couple hours of use, I’ve found this app to be a super helpful tool for any aspiring font creator. It has great tools and workflow, the interface seems incredibly streamlined, and I have the ability to add more characters to my font than almost any other free font-making service.
Reading through some comments, I found a lot of complaints about pricing. However, after exporting many fonts, I have found no such paywall. Maybe the developers have changed their app, but my experience with this app has been an amazing and completely free.
If I had to critique anything, it would be the stabilization and shape making. As a devoted Procreate user, I am typically pampered with stabilization settings and strengths. However, my drawing in this app often came out wavy and in need of fixing. Of course, there are always the great vector editing tools to assist me with my jittery drawing, but this often came at the expense of a lot of time fiddling with settings. It’s the same story with shapes, they just took so long to make. With the incredible workflow this app typically has, this stood out to me.
Then again, font-making is a time consuming project, and I still heavily recommend this app even with its small struggles. It is a great tool for any consumer and something you should definitely try, especially for being as free as it is.
boo
you make your font THEN find out you have to pay for it
Lets you make the font before blocking the export
Need to pay $15 to export the font
Have pay to use the font that you spend hours to make
Pros: The interface is straightforward and user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation. Features like customizable pens and adjustable stroke settings provide flexibility in font creation. The inclusion of a true vector font creator is a standout feature. Cons: Limited language support and fees for font export can be drawbacks. Users may find the learning curve steep, particularly with vector drawing, which can prolong the font creation process. Conclusion: While waiting for updates to address language support (including math fonts) and fee transparency, the software shows potential. Once these issues are resolved, it could become a valuable tool for font designers.
