What you get
Turn your letters and icons into fonts you can use and share.
With Glyphs Mini, you can build your own typeface or icon font rather than settle for an existing design. You can draw letters from scratch, edit an imported font, or bring in SVG shapes and Illustrator outlines. Previewing letters within words helps you judge how they work together, not just individually.
You can keep repeated details consistent by reusing shapes across characters, accents, and icons. Adjust curves and measurements, then apply changes across multiple glyphs instead of repeating the same edits by hand. Shared components also let you update every pixel shape in a pixel font at once.
When your design is ready, you can export OTF fonts for desktop use or WOFF files for the web. You can create single-master Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, emoji, or icon fonts.
