How it works

From your hand to a font, step by step

No design skills, no scanning, no cleanup. You write; Inkling does the typography.

Step one

Write your letters

On a tablet or touchscreen, write over light guide lines — lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and the punctuation you use. Go at your own pace; redo any letter that doesn't feel like you.

Step two

Inkling forges the font

Your strokes become true OpenType outlines. We measure the rhythm of your writing to set spacing and kerning, so words look the way your hand spaces them — not squeezed or scattered.

Step three

Install & use it anywhere

Download a standard font file and install it like any other. Type in your documents, design tools, and — on Pro — the web. It's yours to keep, forever.

What makes it yours

The details that carry your hand

Your rhythm

Spacing and kerning are measured from how you actually write — not a one-size template.

Your variants

On Pro, versions of a letter you actually wrote take turns as you type — the way no two of your a's are identical.

Your quirks

The loop, the slant, the way you cross a t — kept, not corrected.

An honest note

What a font can — and can't — do

A font is a set of fixed letterforms. It captures your hand beautifully, but it can't reproduce the living flow between strokes the way a video of you writing would. We're clear about that edge instead of promising magic. Where the edges are →
