What's new
A transparent log of what we are shipping: focused release notes for features, fixes, and polish as they land. Each entry highlights the practical changes we have made to the editor.
September 2026
Reinterpret a font
Use a reference typeface to explore a modular design. Rebuild its letters with squares, triangles, curves, or repeating shapes, then refine the result in the editor. TTF, OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 files are supported, including weight and width adjustments on supported variable fonts. Files are read in your browser and never uploaded.
July 2026
Shareable typeface specimens
Fit specimens to their visible letterforms, catch missing characters, export landscape, square, or portrait PNG/SVG artwork, and share public font links with dynamic social previews.
Installable font formats
Export TTF, OTF, and WOFF font files directly, with ModFont project JSON available as a separate download for continued editing.
Support ModFont
Added an optional Ko-fi support link for anyone who wants to help fund hosting, storage, and continued development.
Slice tool
Divide a selected shape by drawing a cut line through it. Cuts snap to the grid by default and leave both resulting pieces ready to edit.
Carve mode and focused editor controls
Draw primitive or stroke-shaped cutouts directly into a selected shape, with a live preview and a streamlined toolbar and Inspector layout.
More readable AI-generated glyphs
Improved starter typeface generation with live glyph previews, stronger recognizability checks, and editable fallbacks for ambiguous characters.
Larger canvases and easier navigation
Added 48×48 and 64×64 grids, a Hand tool, Space-drag panning, keyboard zoom controls, and better fit-to-view for detailed glyph work.
Kerning and spacing controls
Preview spacing, edit kerning pairs, and carry kerning data into exported fonts from one compact proofing workspace.
June 2026
Spacing proofs and presets
Added a dedicated spacing preview with useful proof strings and presets for checking rhythm, sidebearings, and letter combinations.
Smart snapping and quick duplication
Shapes now snap to helpful nearby geometry while moving, and Option/Alt-drag creates an immediate duplicate for faster construction.
Clearer Pen tool feedback
Refined Pen tool controls and on-canvas feedback so placing points, closing paths, and understanding the active gesture feels more predictable.
April 2026
A dedicated font library
Browse, search, import, preview, share, and start projects from the new Fonts page, including local guest fonts and public community work.
Reference images
Place an image beneath an individual glyph as a tracing and proportion guide while you draw.
Mirror and symmetry drawing
Create horizontally, vertically, or four-way mirrored geometry with draggable symmetry axes and live mirrored results.
More precise path drawing
Expanded Pen and path-edit workflows with point-type controls, handle snapping, point nudging, closing previews, and clearer mode guidance.
Square and octolinear grids
Switch grid systems without destroying existing artwork and build with a broader palette of grid-aware shapes and editable stroke segments.
Choose your AI provider
Expanded bring-your-own-key generation beyond OpenAI with support for Anthropic and Google models.
December 2025
Export stability pass
Stabilized export handling for edge cases, including more reliable glyph bounds and naming.
Grid and guides polish
Improved grid snapping clarity and guide visibility for more predictable alignment.
Font preview performance
Reduced font preview load time with smarter caching and lighter specimen rendering.
Bring your own API key
Transitioned to a bring-your-own-key model for AI features, giving you direct control over your OpenAI usage.
