Fontself - Your Own Font Maker

I just purchased this software and haven't used it yet. I hope to have a Chinese language version available

This app is great. They are adding new features often and Ames building fonts so easy.

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

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. :)

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.

you make your font THEN find out you have to pay for it

Need to pay $15 to export the font

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.

I like the app is js u hv to pay to use a font on a different app

Fontself is so fun and flexible. You can jump in and start concepting in seconds, or deep dive into your letterforms and obsess over every anchor point. It's beautiful on iPad and editing in the Illustrator plugin is so helpful. Designers, go make!
