Fontself - make your own fonts app for iPhone and iPad

Create real vector fonts in seconds to use in Procreate or Photoshop, and send cool messages with your own handwriting on iMessage or Instagram.

It’s really easy: just draw letters & enjoy typing with your custom typefaces. Fontself turns your alphabet into a font file that you can use & install anywhere.

Fontself is a font creation app that allows you to draw handmade fonts, export them as OpenType files, or to send creative messages via chat or on social with engaging showcases & templates.

This app is free to try all designs and brushes, and you can support our team by upgrading to a paid option (one-time payment, no subscription) to export an unlimited number of font files.

- 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

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.

May The Font Be With You. Always.

... and Welcome to Typocracy ;)
