Font Maker vs Lingua

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.

Lingua is where you make a language and then actually use it. YOUR SCRIPT Draw each letter with your finger. Lingua compiles your letters into a real font on your phone, and gives you a keyboard with your letters on the keys to type with in the app. You can also build keyboards of any existing characters (accented letters, IPA, symbols, other scripts) and use them in any app, free and as many as you like. Alphabet, abjad, syllabary, abugida or logography, written in any direction. Digits are letters too, in whatever base you choose. YOUR LANGUAGE A dictionary where every word has meanings, part of speech, examples, register and origin. Readings and IPA. A phonology page built from what you have written. A grammar of 44 chapters — cases, agreement, word order, negation, questions, derivation — whose rules really conjugate: describe a pattern once and every word in that class follows it. A calendar with your own month and weekday names, a notebook, and CSV import for a list you already have. A PLACE TO USE IT A timeline where people post lines in their own languages, in their own letters. Each post carries its letter shapes with it, so anyone can read your script without your font, and every post has a gloss so people can follow and reply even to a language nobody else speaks yet. Replies and threads, following, tags, a daily prompt everyone answers in their language, photos with your letters drawn on them, a 30-second voice clip, and a card that turns one line into a picture to share. Publish your language's page, and download the alphabet or dictionary of a language you like, to read. FREE AND PAID Free: a full a–z and 0–9 script, one language, a dictionary of 100 words, as many keyboards as you like, and the whole timeline. Plus and Pro add more letters, more words and more languages. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
