What you get
You can give typed text the look of your own handwriting.
You get a font made from your handwriting, so you can personalize cards, invitations, slides, and designs without writing every line by hand. Start with a photo of a completed printable template, or use an existing notebook page. If Penfont cannot read a word, it asks you to clarify it.
You can tidy up individual letters before using the font: adjust their position or size, remove stray marks, or redraw them. Letter variants help repeated characters look less uniform, and you can add Light and Bold weights from the same handwriting.
Once you're happy with the result, you can install your font and use it in Pages, Keynote, or Figma without a plugin, or export a .ttf or .woff file. Your handwriting stays on your Mac, with no account, tracking, or uploads.
