FontCreator16.0.0.3082

Create, refine, convert, and export professional typefaces on a Mac with FontCreator, including OpenType, TrueType, and variable fonts. It gives typographers, graphic designers, and lettering enthusiasts a workspace for building new fonts or correcting existing ones for branding, publishing, logos, scanned lettering, and custom handwriting.

A standout capability is preserving an existing font’s complete OpenType layout data while you modify glyphs, metrics, kerning, or character coverage, retaining substitutions, positioning rules, lookup flags, and feature parameters. Its WYSIWYG editor combines real-time proofing and testing with an upgraded shaping engine, and work can be previewed in external software or a web browser. Projects can be exchanged through .glyphs, UFO, and designspace files, while the OpenType Layout Designer provides visual lookup editing and an Adobe feature-compatible compiler. Quadratic TTF and cubic CFF curves are both supported, with the output curve type chosen during export.

You can import scanned signatures, logos, or handwriting, validate outlines and interpolation as you work, and define axes, masters, and outline layers for variable-font production. FontCreator runs on macOS in the Photo & Graphics category, and version 16.0.0.3082 supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware and also offers a free 30-day trial; version 16.0.0.3082 was released on September 18, 2026.
