Font Maker vs Draw Fonts

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.
