Letter Labs vs Dearscript

Letter Labs turns your handwriting into a real, installable font you can use anywhere. Draw each letter on a guided canvas using your finger or Apple Pencil, and Letter Labs compiles your writing into a professional .otf font file that works across documents, design apps, and social media. DRAW YOUR LETTERS Use a clean, simple canvas with typography guides like the baseline, x-height, ascender, and descender to help keep your letters consistent. A faint reference character shows where to place each stroke, so it feels approachable even if you have never made a font before. CHOOSE FROM 6 BRUSH STYLES Pick the tool that matches your style: Felt Pen, Pencil, Marker, Crayon, Fountain Pen, or Monoline. Each one keeps its texture in the final font, including pencil grain and marker softness. BUILD YOUR CHARACTER SET Create as much or as little as you want. Add lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols. A progress bar and glyph grid make it easy to see what is done and jump between characters. PREVIEW YOUR FONT Watch your handwriting turn into a real working typeface as you go and see how your letters come together as a complete font. EXPORT AND EMAIL YOUR FONT When you are ready, export your font as a standard .otf file and save to your files or share it in one tap. Your font works in any app that supports custom fonts. AUTO SAVE Every stroke is saved automatically, so you can pick up right where you left off. PRIVACY FIRST Your work stays on your device. Letter Labs does not require an account or sign in.
