How it works

01

Write the sheets

Fontador dictates rows of characters. You copy them onto plain paper, as you normally write.
02

Photograph them

Take a photo of each sheet. No special paper, template or scanner is needed.
03

Every character is traced

Each character becomes a traced variant and joins your personal bank of letters.
04

Use your font

The bank is built into a font you can type with anywhere you write.

Why it looks real

A stamped font repeats the same shape every time. Yours does not.

Several variants per character

You write each character more than once, so your bank holds a few traced shapes for every letter.

Rotated as you type

The font uses the OpenType calt feature to rotate those variants, so repeated letters in a word differ, the way they do on paper.

Fix the weak spots

A review screen shows which characters came out thin, and lets you strengthen only those.

See weak characters

Characters with too few or poorly traced variants are listed, so you know where the font is weakest.

Shoot a custom sheet

Fontador builds a sheet with just those characters. Write it, photograph it, and the bank improves.

Questions

Not yet. Fontador is being built, and this page will say when it opens.

No. Plain paper and a photo from your phone are enough.

Every character keeps several of your traced variants, and the font rotates them as you type.

The review screen shows them, and you can write a short custom sheet for only those characters.

Make a font from your own hand

Fontador is on its way.
