## What is TappyType?

Write 39 characters. Make your own font.
Or start with a photo of your handwriting.

TappyType, also known as EasyFont (이지폰트), turns your handwriting into fonts on iPhone and iPad. Write with Apple Pencil or your finger, choose a photo from your library, or capture handwritten Korean with the camera. AI uses your samples to fill a set of 2,350 Hangul syllables.

Start with a handwriting photo
Bring in writing from a notebook or paper without rewriting a fixed set of 39 characters in a template. Review the recognized characters and their cropped regions. Correct labels, adjust regions, exclude unwanted samples, or select a region to add a character.

Write 39 starter characters
Write the 39 starter Hangul characters and let AI fill the rest. Choose whether your original writing or the AI result takes priority for the starter characters. Edit individual characters to refine your font.

Try your font before exporting
Type a sentence in live preview to see your style as you work. Use the A4 preview to compare longer text and weights, then save or share an image. Make postcards with your font, too. These previews and postcards are free.

Use your font in other apps
Export a .ttf file in Light, Regular, or Bold, or follow the guide to install your font on iPhone or iPad. Download the font profile in the app, then complete installation in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. Your font can be selected in apps that support user-installed fonts. It does not change the system-wide iOS font.

Write your way
Place the character list on either side, and work in an iPad window that adapts as you resize it. Use lasso selection, Apple Pencil-only input, and adjustable pressure. For handwritten Hangul projects, choose 2,350 common syllables or all 11,172.

Does AI generate letters, numbers, and symbols?
AI generation covers the 2,350-syllable Hangul set. To use your handwriting for Latin letters, numbers, and symbols, write them yourself. The app explains this before generation and provides a shortcut to write missing characters before export.

What makes a good photo?
Use clear photos of handwritten Korean and check the recognized characters and regions. If samples are sparse or unclear, add photos or continue with the confirmed samples. Output quality depends on image clarity and the amount and variety of handwriting provided. Use your own handwriting or material you have permission to use.

What is free?
Writing, photo import and capture, AI generation, live preview, A4 preview, and postcards are free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks TTF export and device installation.

How are photos and fonts processed?
Original photos are analyzed on your device. For photo-based font creation, only confirmed character crops are sent to the AI server after your consent; full original photos are not uploaded. For device installation, the completed font is sent to a server to sign its installation profile. AI generation and profile signing require an internet connection.

- Settings now fits its content better, with a clearer layout at larger text sizes.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-09-12

Install the font you made right on your device and use it in other apps.

- Install your font onto this device. One tap in Settings and your handwriting shows up wherever fonts can be picked, like Notes and GoodNotes.
- Get your font in two weights, Regular and Bold, from the same handwriting.
- The character you are about to trace now shows faintly inside its cell, so you always know which one you are writing.
- Letters you fixed by hand stay yours when you regenerate with AI. It is on by default, so careful edits are never overwritten.
- Live preview is much faster. The font updates as you write.
- A cleaner look: white background with soft pink accents, and calmer status icons in the character grid.
- Fixed VoiceOver reading Korean labels on devices set to English.
- Writing, AI generation, and preview stay free. Pay once for lifetime access when you export a file or install to your device.

### 1.8.0 — 2026-09-07

- Erase only the part you don't like in an AI-made letter and write over it yourself. No more redrawing a whole character because of one vowel.
- Two erasers now. Wipe out a whole stroke, or rub away only the part you touch.
- The automatic stroke-end cleanup can be turned off in Settings, for the flicks you meant to keep.
- Pick small, medium, or large writing cells, handy for characters with stacked final consonants.
- Celebration alerts can be turned off in Settings, and one you have already seen won't come back.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-03

Write just a few letters, and AI fills in the rest in your own hand.

- The generated letters now show right inside each cell. You can see at a glance which ones came out great and which need a touch, so getting to a handwriting you love is faster.
- Tap any letter in the grid to jump straight into editing it.
- Fixed a crash that could close the app when you tapped AI fill on a font with a lot of letters already written. It now finishes no matter how much you have written, and it gets started faster too.
- Refined the pencil weight and the collapse and expand controls for a smoother flow, plus small bug fixes.
