Dearfont
Turn your handwriting into a real font, no printer needed
Dearfont turns your handwriting into a real, installable font (TTF, OTF, WOFF2) in about 10 minutes. What's different: • No printer needed: write the alphabet on any paper (plain, lined or squared), take a photo, and every letter is found and cut out • Or draw each letter in the browser with a finger, mouse or Apple Pencil • Up to 3 versions per letter plus ligatures, so text looks truly handwritten Free: 2 fonts, 76 characters, no card.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Egemen, the maker of Dearfont.
The idea is simple: your own handwriting as a font you can type with, for cards, worksheets, Cricut projects, a brand that feels personal, or a keepsake of someone's writing.
Most handwriting-font tools make you print a template and fill in tiny boxes. When we tested our own scanner, the first thing we did was photograph a random notebook page, and of course it failed. Most people don't have a printer next to them, so we rebuilt the scanner:
1. Pick what to write (A–Z, a–z, 0–9, punctuation)
2. Write it in order on any paper: plain, lined or squared
3. Snap a photo. Dearfont finds each character, keeps dots and accents with their letter, ignores the notebook lines and traces everything into smooth vector outlines
4. Download a TTF and type with it in Word, Canva, Cricut, Procreate…
Rather draw? Every letter can be drawn in the browser too (finger, mouse or Apple Pencil), with up to 3 versions per letter so double letters don't look copy-pasted.
The free plan gives you 2 fonts with 76 characters and TTF download. Photos are processed right in your browser.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially if the scanner struggles with your handwriting. Tell me here and I'll make it better 🙏
