From your hand to a real font
no design skills needed →
Write
Draw each letter on a tablet or touchscreen with a stylus — at your own pace, in your own hand.
Forge
Inkling traces your strokes into real OpenType outlines, with spacing measured from the way you write.
Use
Install it in documents, design tools, and the web. It's your font, and it's yours to keep.
No two are alike
Every font here is built from one person's real strokes. Yours will look like you — not a typeface pretending to.
Type in a real hand
This is Chris's actual font — ten minutes of his writing, forged. Yours would be your own letters.
Rendered live in your browser from a standard font file — the same kind you'd install. If a character comes out plain, his font simply doesn't include it; yours would have the ones you write.
Install once. Type anywhere.
Inkling exports a standard font, not a gimmick — so it works in the apps you already use.
A font is a font: some apps render a few OpenType flourishes differently. We tune for the ones people actually use, and tell you where the edges are — no overpromising. See device support →
The questions everyone has
Do I need a stylus?
A stylus gives the finest result, but a fingertip works on any touchscreen. The honest difference →
Can I use my font commercially?
Pro fonts are cleared for commercial use; Free is for personal projects. What counts as what →
Is my handwriting private?
Your samples are yours. We never use your handwriting to build anything for anyone else. Our privacy stance →
Is Pro a subscription?
No — one payment buys one month of the full toolkit, and everything you make is yours forever. When the month ends →
Make one for free. Decide later.
The first font takes about ten minutes and costs nothing.
