Font by ZawebaDesign your own typeface without being a typographer.
Your own typeface, made with sliders, not years of practice. Restyle a base alphabet with sliders for weight, serifs, slant and patterns, then export a real font that works in your documents and on the web.
This version isn't signed for Windows yet: if SmartScreen warns you, choose More info › Run anyway. Why?
Font by Zaweba lets anyone make a real font. You start from Zaweba's own base alphabet of 109 characters, drawn as pen strokes, and restyle it with a stack of sliders: weight, contrast, width, rounding, slant, perspective and more. Every change applies to the whole alphabet at once, and spacing and kerning are redone for you.
Add serifs, decorations, cut-outs and pattern fills, or tweak a single letter in the glyph editor. When you're happy, export TTF, OTF or WOFF2, or a four-style family that works with the Bold and Italic buttons in your word processor. Font installs it for you, with no administrator password needed.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.
A stack of style sliders
Weight, contrast, width, rounding, serifs, italic, shear, perspective, rotation, outline and pattern fill. Reorder, switch off or reset.
Drop-in components
Nine serifs, seven decorations and three cut-outs that attach to the right points on every letter. Import your own as SVG.
Pattern fills
Eight built-in tiles and a tile editor. Fill letters with a pattern, add a border, or invert it.
Glyph editor
Edit any letter as a skeleton or an outline, with guides and spacing you drag into place.
Fonts that work everywhere
Export a Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic family linked to your word processor's B and I buttons.
Web kit and specimen
WOFF2 files with ready-made @font-face CSS and a demo page, plus a one-page specimen PDF.
Start with a preset, end with your own
Pick Slab, Rounded, Stencil, Polka, Wonky or Perspective Poster, then push the sliders until it's yours. Serifs and decorations attach to stem ends, corners and curves across the whole alphabet, so one change restyles every letter at once.
- 11 presets to start from
- Components attach to the right points automatically
- Spacing and kerning redone after every change
Installed and ready to use
Export a TTF, OTF or WOFF2, or a whole four-style family, and install it for your Windows account with no administrator prompt. Type with it in your other apps straight away. For a website, the web kit gives you WOFF2 files, the CSS and a demo page.
- Per-user install, no admin needed
- Bold and Italic buttons work as expected
- Web kit with @font-face CSS

Font FAQ
Who owns the fonts I make?
You do. Fonts made with Font by Zaweba belong to the people who make them.
Can I draw letters in another program?
Yes. Export an SVG glyph sheet, edit it in another drawing program and bring it back. Any letters you've changed are flagged so you can review them.
Will my font work in my word processor?
Yes. Export a four-style family and the Bold and Italic buttons switch to your own bold and italic designs. Fonts install for your account without an administrator prompt.
