## From first letter to finished font

1. Start with a blank guided alphabet, one of three open-source fonts, or your own TTF/OTF file.
2. Draw freehand, join straight segments, or place spline points. Switch letters using the alphabet or Edit character menu. Or download a printable template, fill it in, and import the scanned PNG/JPG or PDF.
3. Adjust individual letters, add variants and ligatures, and tune the spacing while testing your own text.
4. Download an installable OTF or TTF font and a project backup. The five most recently edited projects are kept in this browser.

## Tips

- Guides show the cap height, x-height, baseline, descender and advance width. Keep letters on the baseline for consistent spacing.
- Scan at 300 dpi with all four corner markers visible. For photos, use an upright, evenly lit image. Set the crop to the four marker centers before extracting letters.
- Contextual alternates give handwriting variation in apps that support OpenType calt. Enable contextual alternates and standard ligatures in the app where you use the font.
- Fonts based on the included starters retain the SIL Open Font License. Choose a new family name. Imported fonts must allow modification and redistribution.
- Browser storage can be cleared or evicted and does not sync across devices. Download project backups for work you want to keep.

## FAQ

### Is every font feature free?

Yes. Templates, editing, variants, ligatures, spacing, backups and font downloads are free. No ads, accounts, subscriptions or watermarks.

### Can I use my handwriting on paper?

Yes. Download a PNG or PDF template with the characters you choose, write inside the cells, then import a scan or photo. PDF scans are supported too. Review the crop and threshold before extracting.

### Where are my fonts saved?

The five most recently edited projects are stored locally in this browser using IndexedDB. Reopen one below to keep editing. They are not uploaded or synced. Download a project backup before clearing browser data.

### What can I download?

An installable OTF or TTF font, a PNG specimen, printable PNG/PDF templates, and an editable JSON project backup. TTF conversion approximates cubic curves with quadratic curves.

### Can I draw any characters?

Add Latin, accented Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, symbols or your own Unicode characters. The studio supports up to 600 character entries and 15 variants per entry, including custom ligatures. Right-to-left shaping and complex-script layout are not provided.

### How do variants work?

Choose a default drawing for each character and add up to 15 alternatives. With contextual alternates enabled, exported fonts cycle variants based on the preceding letter. Results are contextual rather than truly random, and support depends on the app.
