Everything Fontane.Studio can do today, running entirely in your browser — from a first pressure-sensitive sketch to a finished, exportable font.
A freeform canvas for sketching letters exactly as you would on paper, with real pressure-sensitive stroke width from Apple Pencil, Wacom, or a mouse.
One cell per character, with ascender, x-height, baseline, and descender guides plus draggable side bearings — the systematic way to draw a full alphabet.
Switch between constant-width ink and pressure-responsive thickness, with live size/thinning/smoothing/streamline controls.
A true Bezier pen tool — click for corner points, click-drag for smooth curve points, click an anchor to delete it, click a curve segment to insert one.
A closed vector shape defaults to cutting a hole through whatever it overlaps in the same glyph — the standard way to draw the counter of an 'o', 'e', or 'a'.
Reshape an already-drawn freehand stroke by dragging, inserting, or deleting its own anchor points, without redrawing it.
Latin Basic, Central European accents, punctuation, and currency/math symbols — toggle whole sets on or off in Grid View.
Tag a drawn shape as a ligature (e.g. 'fi') or a stylistic alternate of an existing letter — both export as real OpenType substitution glyphs.
Add any one-off base character, ligature, or alternate outside the built-in sets by name.
Lasso-select any combination of strokes and vector shapes, then transform them as a group.
Duplicate strokes and shapes within Free Draw, within Grid, or across the two — paste into a different Grid cell and it's automatically fitted to size.
A full history stack covering drawing, tagging, and transform actions.
Type freely using your own already-tagged glyphs to see how your in-progress font reads as real text.
Apply CSS-driven animations (pulse, tilt, glitch, and more) to your lettering and export it as a self-contained HTML embed.
A complete OpenType font file, compiled entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing to install.
The raw stroke centerlines as an open SVG path, ready to bring into Glyphs.app or another vector tool for manual refinement.
Fontane's own save format — every stroke, glyph, and setting, so you can pause and resume a font later or move between devices.
A Python script for Glyphs.app that reads an FFF file directly and builds real glyphs with correct components and Bezier nodes.
Publish a finished font for anyone to browse and download, or share a direct link to it.
Before a font can be published, Fontane checks for a plausible history of real drawing activity — a lightweight guard against converted or stolen fonts.
No cookies, no third-party analytics or ad scripts, no persistent identifier written to your device.
Your drawings live in your browser's own storage — nothing reaches our servers unless you explicitly export or publish.
