This headline is set in a font made by this tool, from the photo below.

A real one-shot result: dim light, spiral binding, page shadow. One photo in, installable font out.

Try it right here

Drop a photo of your handwriting or tap to choose one. Write your letters with a dark pen, not touching.

what you wrote, in reading order font name ink sensitivity

Runs entirely in this tab: your photo never leaves your device. The full tool adds Claude's eyes (no need to type what you wrote), a print template, WOFF2 and refinement.

How it works

Write

Grab a dark pen and write your alphabet on paper. Any paper. A napkin counts. Letters just should not touch.

Photograph

One phone photo from above. It handles shadows, angles and notebook spirals. No scanner, no exact template.

Say make my font

Drag the photo into Claude Code and say it. Claude finds and labels the letters, builds the font, and checks the result for you.

The whole flow, real time: photo in, installed font out.

No AI needed either

The skill sits on a plain npm CLI with zero system dependencies. If you can tell it what you wrote, it does the whole job by itself:

# freeform photo, in the order you wrote:
npx draw-your-font make photo.jpg --chars "ABCabc" --name "My Hand"

# or print a guided template first:
npx draw-your-font template -o template.pdf
npx draw-your-font make page1.jpg page2.jpg --charset minimal
