FontStrike

Editable UFO fonts

Shape a letter. Refine the space around it.

Work directly with editable UFO font sources in a Windows desktop workspace. Draw outlines, tune spacing and kerning, and export a static TrueType font while keeping the source editable.

What you
can do.

Get close to the outline

Move and add points, switch between lines and curves, draw with the pen, and check the filled shape behind the contours.

See letters work together

Adjust advance widths, side bearings and glyph or group kerning. The kerned text preview lets you select a letter and return to its outline.

Keep the source for the next revision

Undo edits, save supported UFO data with recovery and autosave, and export TTF separately. Changes from another editor are detected before an overwrite.
