BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD

Font Studio is designed as a real font workspace rather than a simplified desktop companion.

Your font files can stay on your device.

Font processing is performed locally, so you can work with your typefaces without needing to upload them to a cloud font-processing service.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8.0 — 2026-10-19

Font from Image (Pro)
Photograph or scan your handwriting and turn it into a font. The app finds each letter, you type the letters in order, and it builds the font.

Natural handwriting (Pro)
Add a second and third drawing of each letter from more sheets. The font alternates between them as you type, so repeated letters do not look copy-pasted.

Also new
- Add letters from a photo to a font you already have, from the Tools list in the workspace.
- Easier photo fixing: rotate a sheet, remove stray marks, and join the pieces of a colon or semicolon into one letter, even when they are not next to each other.
- New Make a font button on Home. My Fonts now shows your imported fonts and your projects in one place.
- Clearer workspace on phones: Tools, Export and Share sit in a bottom bar. Export always opens the Export screen, with a quick save as TTF or OTF.
- Start New Font keeps your progress as a draft when you go back.
- Sharing a preview as an image now keeps your settings: paragraph, size, spacing, colours and the weight of a variable font.
