About handfonter

handfonter turns your handwriting into a font. You draw each letter on a guided pad in the browser, check the live proof, and download a real .otf file that works in any word processor. The font is built on your device with the opentype.js library. I made it after trying to reproduce a relative's handwriting for a card. Accents and alternate letters are supported; the results are honest to your hand, wobble included.

Who

handfonter is built and looked after by Saurav Kumar Sharma, an independent developer in India. There is no company behind it and no team; if something breaks, the person who fixes it is the person who wrote it.

How it is built

Everything on this site runs inside your browser. Files you open stay on your device; there is no upload step and no server that could keep a copy. Once loaded, the tool keeps working without a connection. Drafts of the written guides are prepared with software help and then edited by hand; the measurements and examples come from running the tool.
