Typograph and FontBob

FontBobFrom their website

FontBob is a simple font editor that runs in the browser. It is made for beginners and used in classes.

You draw each letter on a canvas. It is free, and Pro is $7 a month.

TypographStart from letters, not from nothing

Typograph works the other way round from a classic font editor. You start from a template, or describe the typeface you want, and then tune the letterforms.

It is trained on 50,000 hand drawn glyphs, supports 66 languages and runs in the browser. You own full rights to the fonts you make.

Time for a family of 10 weights is our own estimate for an experienced designer making a Latin typeface with spacing and kerning, not a figure from the makers. Real projects vary.

Which to pick
Both are good at different things

Pick FontBob if you want to learn by drawing each letter yourself.

Pick Typograph if you want to start from a template or a description and tune the whole typeface at once. Try Typograph.
