Font Maker vs Dearscript

Turn your handwriting into a real font. Create your own custom typeface directly on iPhone by drawing each letter, number, and symbol by hand. Font Maker guides you from the first character to a complete font, lets you preview the result in real contexts, and exports a real TTF file you can save, test, and share. Whether you want a personal handwritten font, custom lettering for content, or a creative tool for typography experiments, Font Maker gives you everything in one place. What you can do with Font Maker - Create a font project from scratch - Draw uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation, and international characters - Use guides and reference characters while drawing - Undo, redo, save drafts, and refine individual glyphs - Preview your font in notes, messages, and headline-style layouts - Export your font as a real TTF file - Generate PNG artwork with your custom font for stories, posts, covers, and thumbnails - Choose transparent or solid backgrounds for PNG exports - Import external font files and manage them inside the app - Install supported fonts for use in compatible apps - Set up and customize a companion keyboard experience Designed for real creative workflows Font Maker is built for creators, designers, lettering fans, journaling lovers, and anyone who wants a font that feels personal. You can move from sketching letters to testing style, exporting assets, and reusing your type across different use cases. Important note Custom keyboards on iPhone cannot force every app to display your font automatically. For the exact visual result, use PNG export. For compatible apps that support custom fonts, use the exported or installed TTF file.

Your handwriting deserves to be more than ink. Dearscript turns what you write with Apple Pencil into a real, installable font — free, with no accounts and no subscriptions. Write each letter once on a guided, notebook-style canvas, and watch a live preview assemble your handwriting into sentences as you go. When you're happy, install your font on your iPad or iPhone and use it in Pages, Keynote, Word, and any app that supports custom fonts — or export the font file and use it on your Mac or PC. HOW IT WORKS • Draw each letter with Apple Pencil on a compact, guided canvas — faint reference letters and typographic guidelines keep everything lined up • Watch the live preview render your own sample text in your handwriting as you draw • Install your font system-wide, or share the font file anywhere MAKE IT YOURS • Five brushes — pen, monoline, fountain pen, marker, pencil — with adjustable width • Pressure-sensitive strokes carry into the finished font: write light, write bold, it shows • Draw multiple versions of any letter and Dearscript rotates them naturally as you type, so nothing looks stamped or robotic • Letter combinations like "th" and "oo" can be drawn as connected pairs for a flowing, natural look • Tune character and word spacing; add designer and license info to the font file itself A REAL FONT, DONE RIGHT Dearscript builds genuine TrueType fonts with smooth curves — not images of your writing. 105 glyphs: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and combinations.
