Create your own font

Fill in a printed template or draw symbols directly on the site. Choose the method that suits you below.

Choose a symbol set

Open Templates and choose a language, digits, mathematical symbols or another set. Select the symbols you need and click Add selected. You can combine several sets.

Create and print the template

Click Create template, download the sheet and print it. Keep the original print scale and do not crop the corner markers or QR code.

Fill in the template

Write each letter in its own cell with a dark pen. Follow the guidelines, keep letter heights consistent and avoid touching the borders. Scan the sheet or photograph it in even lighting, with all corner markers and the QR code visible.

Add a font

Open Fonts and click Add font. Enter a name, then click Create font in the dialog. This creates the project where you will upload your letters.

Upload the template

Open your new project and click Upload template.

Choose an upload method

There are two methods. We recommend Edit manually so you can inspect the image and adjust processing before creating the symbols.

Manual upload — Edit manually

Opens the image in an editor where you can inspect detected cells, adjust processing, remove background noise and preserve fine strokes. You do not need to redraw every letter.

Start with this method, especially for photos.

Automatic upload

Select one or several sheets and process them with automatic cell detection. This is useful for clear, evenly lit templates. Review the results before saving.

Process the image and create SVG

Upload your photo or scan. Check that the cells are detected correctly and that the letters are clear without missing strokes. Adjust the filters if needed, then click Process image and create SVG. Review the results and save them to the font. SVG is a vector outline that you can edit without losing sharpness.

Optional extra step

Choose a letter and adjust it

If a letter looks uneven or does not fit its neighbours, open its card in the project. You can correct the drawing, edit SVG points, adjust spacing and set kerning. Save the letter after editing.

Edit the drawing

Edit opens a canvas where you can add a stroke, remove unwanted marks or correct the letter shape. Use it for small fixes after recognition.

Edit SVG points

The outline consists of points connected by lines. In Edit SVG, move points and handles to smooth a curve, remove bumps or refine the shape.

Adjust letter spacing

Left and right spacing control the space around a letter. Reduce it if letters look too far apart, or increase it if they touch. Vertical positioning helps align the letter with the text line.

Set kerning

Kerning adjusts the distance between a specific pair, such as AV or To. Use it when general spacing looks right but one combination is too tight or too loose.
