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.

For compatible apps that support custom fonts, use the exported or installed TTF file.

Write 24 letters once. Get a font that writes all 11,172 Korean syllables in your own hand. PAPER CAPTURE Print the jamo sheet from the app, write each letter with a pen, and take one photo. Four corner markers straighten the page, the 24 boxes are cut apart, and your handwriting becomes a font. Nothing leaves your phone - extraction, assembly and font generation all run on the device. OR WRITE ON SCREEN No printer nearby? Draw each letter with a finger or a stylus. Same result. 11,172 SYLLABLES FROM 24 LETTERS Hangul is assembled, not drawn one character at a time. Handfont places your initial, medial and final letters at the right coordinates, so every Korean syllable comes out in your handwriting - along with Latin letters, digits and punctuation. TUNE IT Adjust stroke weight, slant, letter spacing and baseline until it looks like you. EXPORT Save a real .ttf file and use it anywhere fonts are accepted. WRITE AND KEEP Write a letter or a card in your font and save it. Come back later and edit it - weight and slant are kept per writing, so a note and a title can look different. FREE AND PRO The first font is free. Pro unlocks unlimited fonts and permanent font tuning, and removes ads - a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Handfont at none against Font Maker's 3. Handfont also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Font Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
