Font Maker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Make a real font from the way you write. Font Maker: TypeMine is a handwriting studio for creators, students, teachers, and anyone who wants personal text. Draw characters on your iPhone, refine the spacing, preview your work, and export files you can keep. There is no account, advertising, analytics, or cloud upload. CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DRAW Begin with Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, or Hebrew, no matter which language the app uses. You can also paste a phrase and let TypeMine make a compact drawing set from only the characters it contains. Small stages help you reach a usable result quickly, celebrate each completed set, and decide whether to create text now or continue. Every project is saved automatically and remains editable. You never have to finish an entire alphabet. Draw one useful set, preview it, compose with the characters you have, and add more later. For scripts that change letter shapes when characters join, contextual shaping is not supported in this version. The low-latency canvas supports a finger and Apple Pencil. Baseline, x-height, cap-height, and descender guides help letters sit together naturally. Choose among three stroke widths, undo or redo, fit a drawing to the guides, and tune each character's width. Clear actions ask for confirmation. PREVIEW WHILE YOU WORK TypeMine compiles your strokes locally and uses the resulting font for live previews. Export a TTF from any non-empty set you have drawn; you do not need to complete a preset alphabet first. Missing characters produce a clear warning and use the font's missing-character mark. Characters remain editable between exports. CREATE TEXT ART IN THE APP • Write multiline text with a live preview in your font • Change font size, alignment, and line spacing • Choose text and background colors • Use a transparent background when you need only the lettering • Switch among square, story, portrait, and page-shaped canvases Export a transparent PNG, styled PNG, PDF, TTF, or one package with every format. Image and PDF exports check your composition first. If a character has not been drawn, TypeMine tells you what is missing instead of silently replacing your work. AN OPTIONAL, HONEST KEYBOARD The optional TypeMine keyboard provides QWERTY keys, shift, delete, space, return, and keyboard switching. Normal typing works without Full Access. It previews a message in your selected local font. Host apps control text-field fonts, so a keyboard cannot force a custom TTF into normal text. Full Access is optional and used only to copy that rendered message as a transparent image. The keyboard does not inspect host text, connect to a server, collect keystrokes, or send your writing anywhere. FREE EXPORTS WITH YOUR BADGE Drawing, editing, previews, projects, keyboard typing, and exports are unlimited. Free images include a Made with TypeMine badge so others discover the app. TypeMine Plus is optional. Choose yearly or lifetime access to remove the badge from exported work. There is no trial or weekly plan, and Restore Purchases is in Settings. MADE TO BE CLEAR TypeMine combines a bright canvas with strong contrast, large controls, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, dark mode, right-to-left layout, and Reduce Motion behavior. The language picker includes 50 choices, and character-set choice stays independent from the app language. TypeMine Plus purchase information - TypeMine Plus offers an auto-renewable yearly subscription and a one-time lifetime purchase. Both remove the Made with TypeMine badge from exports. - Payment is charged to your App Store account when you confirm the purchase. - The yearly subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Lifetime access does not renew. - You can manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store account settings.
