TypeTool 3

The basic font editor

For Windows XP–10 or Mac OS X 10.6–macOS 10.14 Mojave. The Mac version does not work on macOS 10.15 Catalina. The Windows version works on all modern Windows versions. To run on macOS for the first time, Ctrl+click, choose Open, then confirm.

TypeTool has the same interface as our classic pro font editor FontLab Studio that was used to create most of the world’s commercial fonts. It is a great option for beginning type designers wanting to get started on designing typefaces and creating or modifying fonts, without a major investment. It offers a basic, reliable workflow for font creation, glyph drawing and multilingual glyph design, to spacing and kerning, with automatic hinting.
