MoFont turns your handwriting into a real, installable font — OTF + TTF — covering 6,500 common Chinese characters. Print an A4 grid, write 30–50 characters, photograph and upload, and ~3–4 hours later download your font. It's buy-once: ~$9 personal, no subscription, no watermark. Under the hood: a generation pipeline (GAN to diffusion) plus heavy FontForge work for the last mile — thousands of glyphs into a font that actually opens and renders, rare characters included.
Hi PH 👋 I'm Iris (顾砚秋), the maker of MoFont.
This started with a wedding. I'd hand-lettered the envelopes for 180 guests — and somewhere around envelope #120, with my hand cramping, I had a very specific thought: I wish I could just *install* my handwriting and let the printer do the other 60. Not a handwriting "filter," not a lookalike. Mine. The actual shapes my hand makes.
Turning that into something real took about a year of teaching myself the field from scratch — zi2zi (the conditional-GAN approach to Chinese characters), then vector models like DeepVecFont, then diffusion-based generation. The fun part is the models. The brutal part is the last mile: getting thousands of generated glyphs to assemble into a font that actually opens in Word, renders without broken strokes, and doesn't fall apart on the rare characters every demo conveniently avoids. That's a lot of FontForge.
One stance I won't move on: MoFont is buy-once. A font made from your own hand should not be something you rent. You pay once (~$9 personal), you download the OTF + TTF, and it's yours — no subscription, no watermark, no "your font expires" email a year later.
You print a grid, write 30–50 characters, photograph them, and a few hours later you have a font covering 6,500 common characters.
I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's fought with font tooling. Ask me anything about the pipeline.
