## What is Font Studio?

Font Studio: Font Engineering
A professional font toolkit for creating, editing, inspecting, composing, repairing and converting fonts — entirely on-device.
Font Studio brings real font engineering tools to iPhone and iPad. Work directly with your fonts without sending files to a server or relying on a desktop computer.

Convert, process and export your fonts without uploading them to a remote service.

FONT PREVIEW
Test your typeface before exporting it.
Use:
• Type preview
• Paragraph preview
• Specimen preview
• Glyph preview
• Custom text
• Typography metrics
• Spacing and kerning
• Variable font axes

BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD

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

Use it on iPhone for focused font work, or take advantage of the larger iPad workspace for detailed editing, inspection and typography.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN

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.
Create. Edit. Engineer. Perfect.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-30

Font Studio 1.5 is a full type-design workshop:

• Dark mode, following your system setting
• Built-in AI assistant — ask how to subset, clean, export or fix anything and get step-by-step guidance
• Share Specimen — turn your font into a polished image card to share anywhere
• Create new glyphs from scratch: letters, alternates and ligatures, with proper names and Unicode
• New Font Info and vertical metrics editors
• Build OpenType features, anchors, mark positioning, composites and accents
• Extended Arabic: Lam-Alef forms and ligatures, plus Persian, Urdu and Kurdish letters
• Precision tools: measure, rulers, numeric point entry, custom guides and outline QA
• Proofing: kerning strings per script, waterfalls, spacing proofs and image export
• Language coverage report for your font
• SVG glyph import, now on iOS
• Variable fonts keep exact metrics at every weight
• Batch processing, Font Splitter, Unicode Explorer and Font Builder
• Stability fixes and performance improvements

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-28

Font Studio 1.4 brings image tracing, a redesigned OpenType workspace and major Arabic improvements.

IMAGE TO GLYPH
• Turn a photo, scan or drawing into a glyph in seconds.
• Watch the outline trace live over your image as you adjust it.
• Clean, smooth results with a designer-like number of points. Choose Simple, Balanced or Detailed.
• Crop with easy-to-grab corners and edges, rotate 90° or straighten tilted photos.
• Handles faint pencil, dark ink, light-on-dark and dusty photos.
• Size it to cap height, ascender or full height and sit it on the baseline before creating.

REFERENCE IMAGES
• Place any picture behind the canvas and draw over it with the Pen.
• Move, resize, rotate and set its opacity, then lock it so it stays put while you draw.

OPENTYPE, REDESIGNED
• See what your font does at a glance: Arabic shaping, ligatures, alternates, numbers and positioning.
• Rules shown as real glyphs ("f i → fi"), even for glyphs with no character of their own.
• Test Lab: type any text and compare it with and without a feature.
• Searchable glyph picker for editing substitutions and ligatures.
• Full technical detail is still one tap away under Advanced.

ARABIC
• Every letter form is clearly labelled (Isolated, Initial, Medial, Final) with a guide shaped in that exact form.
• New join line guide, taken from your tatweel, with snapping so every letter connects at the same height.
• Traced letters connect seamlessly: no gaps, and join strokes snap into place automatically.
• The New Font wizard starts with the tatweel, so the whole font shares one join line.

NEW FONT WIZARD
• Skip any character, or finish early and open your font as it is.

Plus performance improvements and fixes.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-25
