Design a font of your own.
You don’t need to have drawn a letter before. Start free from Sans or Serif and push it until it sounds like you. Keep scrolling.
Pull it wide and the letters keep their shape.
The editor redraws each curve as the word spreads out, so a wide R looks like someone drew it that wide.
The editor stays quiet so the type can be loud.
Your words sit large in the middle of the screen. Weight, width, slant, contrast, roundness and serifs live in one panel beside them, and the finer controls wait in a drawer until you open it.
Close the tab whenever you like. It saves as you go and opens where you left off.
Select the text to edit it. Drag it to change weight and width.

Each glyph updates as you edit. Select one to inspect it.
The editor, with its four tabs. Tap or click them. In use and Specimen come with a paid plan.
Lean it forward and open up the contrast.
The thick strokes get thicker, the thin ones thin out, and the same six letters start to look like a magazine cover.
Serifs grow out of the letters you already have.
A little gives the word a soft foot to stand on. Keep pulling and you get a slab.
Every font here starts from one of these: Letterhead Sans, Letterhead Editorial, Letterhead Antique, Letterhead Serif or Letterhead Condensed. Each one bends its own way.
Try it on before you export it.
On a paid plan, the In use tab sets your font on a poster, a tee, a hang tag and a shopfront, and redraws them while you drag.
Now you have a go.
Drag the word up to make it heavier and sideways to make it wider. The thin outline marks where you started.
Download it when it sounds right.
OTF is free. A paid plan adds TTF and WOFF2, kerning you tune by hand or set automatically, and the right to sell your own font. Everything runs in your browser, and you can start free. Letterhead Editorial is based on Spectral by Production Type and keeps the SIL Open Font License. See pricing.
