Typeface maker for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Make your own typeface.

No drawing. Just dials.

Press a point on a letter and turn.

Every point
is a dial.

Press and turn. One turn changes every letter at once. This is the app's real engine, running in your browser.

Turn a dial, and this whole page follows.

Drag for the next letter. The ticks change the dial set.

Your font picks
its own words.

Typograph reads the character of a font from its dials. Turn it heavy and it shouts. Thin it out and it whispers.

It's a real font.

Send it anywhere. A TrueType file with kerning, that installs like any other font. Go on, type.

A poster
of any font.

Four layouts, as a PNG or an A2 PDF. It suggests colours to suit the font, and keeps its thinnest stroke readable.

iPhone, iPad
and Mac.

The same shelf on all of them. The last place on it is blank paper with one dial. Turn it, and a new face wanders in.

A mini version for Figma.

The same engine, beside your canvas. Place the words as real vectors, copy them as SVG, or export the TTF.

It's not the full app: 80 everyday characters, and nothing is saved. The app has all 179, plus your shelf and posters.
