# Penfont for Mac

> Make a typeable font from your own handwriting.

Fill in a printed template or drop in photos of pages you have already written, and Penfont builds a font with letter variants and light and bold weights. Glyphs can be redrawn by hand, and the result installs in one click or exports as TTF and WOFF. All processing happens on the Mac.
