draw-your-font

Photograph your handwritten letters and run the draw-your-font CLI to segment the photo into letter blobs. Label each blob using the generated contact sheet, then build the font, which produces an installable TTF file.

Print the generated template PDF, write one character per box with a dark pen, and photograph the page from above in good light. The CLI segments the photo, you label the letters, and the build step assembles the font.

You need Node.js version 18 or later with npx available. The CLI runs via npx as the pinned npm package [email protected], so no global installation is required and everything processes locally.

Yes, rebuild the font with the formats flag set to ttf,woff,woff2,css. This generates web font formats along with a CSS file in addition to the standard TTF output.

Missing letters usually mean the pen was too faint for the binarizer; try lowering the delta and raising the cap parameters, or rewrite with a darker 0.5mm+ pen. Broken strokes can be fixed by rebuilding with a higher weight setting.

No, all processing runs locally on your machine. The CLI needs a real file path to the photo, and your handwriting never leaves the device during segmentation, tracing, or font assembly.
