Doodle Fonts

Doodle Fonts turns your handwriting into real, installable fonts. Draw every letter yourself with Apple Pencil, watch your alphabet come to life as you go, and install the finished font right on your iPad — ready to use in any app that supports custom fonts.

DRAW

- More than 20 brushes: smooth, ink, calligraphy, chalk, marker, spray, sketchy, pixel, and more

- Create your own custom brushes — draw a tip and the app turns it into a stamp brush

- Pressure and tilt support, QuickShape snapping, mirror mode, and a vector pen for precise letterforms

- Trace over template letters, a photo, or one of the four built-in starter fonts

REFINE

- Live preview that rewrites itself in your font as you draw

- Automatic spacing, adjustable side bearings, kerning pairs, and global letter spacing

- Up to six alternate versions per letter, exported as real OpenType alternates

- Ligatures and custom characters — add symbols beyond the alphabet

EXPORT AND INSTALL

- Install fonts directly on your iPad with one tap

- Export OTF for desktop and print, WOFF for the web, or both at once

- Share editable .doodlefont files between iPads or with the web app

- Your author name ships inside the font file as its designer

KEEP GOING

- A letter of the day and a weekly word challenge keep your streak alive

- Earn badges as your library grows

- Share alphabet posters and specimen cards of your fonts

- Automatic iCloud backup of every font as an editable file

Character sets for English, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese, with the interface localized in all seven languages.

Doodle Fonts collects no data. Your fonts are yours: they live on your iPad and in your iCloud, and they never touch anyone else's server.
