Troubleshooting

A font doesn't appear on another device

Both devices need the same Apple Account with iCloud Drive turned on. Open Typograph on the other device: it looks for new fonts when it opens or comes back to the front. A big library can take a moment to sync. To move one font without iCloud, send its .typograph file and open it in the app.

A font changed on another device, but not here

A font open in the editor doesn't change while you're in it. Go back to your fonts and the newer version comes in.

A font I deleted is still in iCloud Drive

Deleted fonts move to the Deleted folder in the Typograph folder in iCloud Drive, and stay there until you remove them. To bring one back, open its file in the app.

Installing a TTF

Typograph gives you a standard TrueType file. On a Mac, open it and Font Book installs it. iPhone and iPad can't install a loose font file by themselves: import it into an app that takes its own fonts, or use a font installer from the App Store.

Some characters are missing from my poster

A poster only sets characters the font has, and leaves the others off. While you edit its words, a small box with a number shows how many are being left out. Emoji and letters from other alphabets are the usual ones.

Frequently asked questions

What does Typograph actually do?

It makes typefaces. You shape a font by turning dials on its letters, and it compiles a real TrueType file you can install and use anywhere.

Do I need to draw?

No. There are twenty dials in three sets: form, stroke and ends. One turn changes every letter at once, so the whole font always stays in step.

How many characters does a font get?

179: lowercase, capitals, figures, punctuation, symbols and accented Latin letters, with kerning. The app draws them all from your dials.

How do I use my font somewhere else?

Share it. You can send the font itself as a TTF, a poster of it as a PNG or an A2 PDF, or its source as a .typograph file that opens in Typograph on another device.

Is this page really running the app?

Its font engine, yes. The same code is compiled to WebAssembly and runs in your browser, and nothing you make here is sent anywhere. This page holds 80 characters. The app has them all, and keeps what you make.

Where are my fonts kept?

On your device, with a copy in your own iCloud Drive if it's on. There's no account, and the app has no servers of its own.

What does it run on?

iPhone, iPad and Mac, with iOS 26 or later on iPhone and iPad. On a phone or tablet you can turn two dials at once with two fingers.

Is there a Figma plugin?

Yes, a mini version. It isn't the full app, but it runs the same engine beside your canvas: place the words as real vector outlines, copy them as SVG, or export a TTF. It holds the 80 everyday characters and doesn't save fonts. The app has all 179, and keeps your whole shelf.

Requirements

iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later, and Mac. Syncing between devices needs iCloud Drive.
