Fontself - Make your own fonts

I'm just beginning to explore the app. It's worth the price. Fontself is really well designed, easy to use but also deep. There are plenty of apps out there for turning your handwriting into a font, this one goes so far beyond that. You can create conventional printing fonts, like serif and sans serif. If you want to do a type family you'll still want to get onto a computer for those professional programs (Fontographer or whatever), I'm not seeing any way to adjust the guides for drawing, say, an italic font, so that leaves a lot of room for inconsistency. That takes us to request #1: Adjustable guides. Mainly I want a way to create fonts with a smaller x-height but you might want to adjust for something different. For instance, it would also be nice to have vertical guides for letter width and adjustable slope (for that italic). #2: A manual and detailed tutorials. The app is seemingly so simple it needs little explanation. On the surface, yes, it is. But there are hidden editing tools that most how-to YouTubers never even mention. Not everyone is familiar with vector graphics. Request #3: Being able to navigate with one finger. When I try to scroll with two fingers the grid is twisting and resizing like crazy. I'm sure there are other desirable improvements. I am not in any way a type designer so I really don't know what else they could work on. Regardless, it's a great app.

I am so pleased with my paid version of Fontself! I had to delete and reinstall my app do to previously downloading the app under my old Apple ID and than purchasing the paid version under my new Apple ID. I reached out to the developer via APP SUPPORT located in the upper right hand side just above the REVIEWS. The developer was very helpful with all my questions. I was able to keep and reinstall all editable projects back into FONTSELF. If anyone needs to know how to save/archive editable project files, go to the QUESTION MARK in the upper right hand corner (need to be where all your projects are), click on GET HELP type in ARCHIVE. Click on ARCHIVE fonts (backup) and you will be walked throu the entire process. I am really enjoying using this app! I am excited to see what new features the developers will be adding in the near future.

I'm an animator, comic maker, gamedev, and toy designer. Every single day, I need to make signage, workshop a font, or make a logo or an asset for myself that's fullynroyalty free. This app is blazingly fast, has smooth and intuitive drawing tools, and has a UI that can be picked up in seconds. As someone who used the Mac Os add ons for photoshop and illustrator, it's absolutely incredible just how much fat is cut from that experience and put into this app with care. Fontself has truly made one of the easiest ways to make fonts for yourself with ZERO headache. The biggest cons at the moment is that the standard brush is indeed a standard singular brush; there's no brush import or vector stroke creation tools, so stylizing your strokes comes down to tweaking pressure and taper settings. I asked the developer if image uploading will be available, and they responded (within seconds) that they are working on it. Which helps me ease into my final point: the devs. Extremely responsive, casual, and easy to ask questions to with the apps built in q/a function. They seem to truly listen to suggestions and act on them immediately. I had to rare 5 stars. Font creation has been such a mystery to me for most of my life, and now I can make my own fonts in actual seconds. If you really want to get into making your own fonts, this is absolutely a great app to start.
