Glyphs

From idea to release

With Glyphs, you draw perfect vectors from scratch, and efficiently produce any OpenType font or major image format.

​

Unlock the magic of variable fonts

No more compromises: set up design axes and interpolate letter and icons along them. Make your shapes adapt perfectly to any situation, or even animate them on the web. You’ll be surprised how easy it is.

​

Vector drawing done right

Go from sketch to outline in no time. Quickly jot down your idea and easily turn it into pristine vectors, and do all the things Illustrator never let you do: nudge, edit multiple handles at the same time, lock angles, batch-control curvatures, harmonize curve segments. Take full control of your curves.

​

Stop wasting your time on copying and pasting, reuse your shapes smartly

Reuse glyphs as components inside other glyphs: edit the original, and all hotlinked components follow foot immediately. Use this to make your a the same in äâãāăȧà, or to keep any number of shapes in sync across many glyphs.

​

Get any major font or image format out the door

Satisfy all font needs by delivering all OpenType formats: CFF-flavored OTFs, TTFs, as well as WOFF and WOFF2 webfonts. Interchange data or integrate into an existing workflow by exporting UFO and Font Metrics.
