Features

  • Modular construction

    Build glyphs from simple shapes, alignment tools, and boolean ops, with fast iteration and no loss of control.

    Preview words, spacing, and rhythm as you work. Tune kerning, tracking, and line height, and see glyphs as a system.

  • Production export

    Export as TTF, OTF, or WOFF, ready to install and use across your other design tools.

  • AI starting points

    Generate a rough typeface from a prompt using your own AI provider key, then shape every glyph by hand.

    See your typeface move with the built in wave, cylinder, and perspective preview effects.

FAQ

Do I need to create an account?
No. You can start designing right away in guest mode, no signup required.
What do I export?
TTF, OTF, or WOFF, all installable and usable in any other design tool.
How much can I do without an account?
Guests can build one typeface, saved locally in your browser, and export it up to three times. Create a free account to save more typefaces and sync them to the cloud.
Does ModFont need a specific browser?
Drawing, previewing, and exporting a font doesn't need WebGL. The animated hero background and the in-editor 3D preview effect do, and both fall back gracefully when it isn't available.
Do I need an API key to use AI generation?
Only if you want an AI generated starting point. Bring your own key from a supported provider. Drawing everything by hand needs nothing extra.
Is ModFont free?
Yes. ModFont is free to use. Supporting the project is entirely optional, through a small contribution.
What happens to my guest typeface if I switch devices?
It's stored locally in your browser, so it won't follow you to a new device or browser. Create a free account to save it to the cloud instead.
