Automatic setup

Uses one scale for the whole family. It never stretches glyphs.

Import geometry mode

Glyph exception

An explicit pair overrides class kerning. A saved zero creates a deliberate exception.

Kerning classes

Each glyph can belong to one left class and one right class.

Class pair

Linked metrics

Use a glyph, name, or Unicode reference: =H.left+10, =n.right, =A.advance.

Add a Devanagari glyph set to activate the production Hindi pipeline. Latin-only projects are unchanged.

Required shaping stages stay enabled. HarfBuzz compiles and shapes the current in-progress binary, not a simulated glyph sequence.

Native drawing

Draw and edit closed font contours directly in font units. New Illustrator SVG glyphs become native Outline objects automatically.

Choose Pen, Rectangle, or Ellipse and draw on the glyph canvas.

With Select or Transform, every selected contour and reference image shares one bounding box. Shift-click or drag a marquee to select several items, then drag any selected item to move the group. Drag corners to scale, sides to stretch, and the round handle to rotate. Hold Shift to preserve proportions or snap rotation; hold Option/Alt to scale from the centre. Use ⌘/Ctrl+A to select all unlocked contours and reference images in the glyph.

Pathfinder / Boolean

Merge converts imported glyph SVGs into native outlines, removes overlapping geometry, and preserves disconnected parts and counters.

Glyph layers

Layers are ordered back to front. Reference images stay saved with the project but never enter the exported font. Position them first, then lock their layer while tracing.

Construction uses font units. Point values shown here depend on the preview size and do not change the exported outline.

Choose the Kerning tool, then click the orange handle between two characters.

Pair adjustment (FU)

Adjustment amount (FU)

Expressions are accepted, for example 77+77+77 becomes 231.

Positive values add space; negative values close the pair. This changes only the selected combination and is exported as kerning.

Click a glyph, then drag to reposition it globally. V edits glyphs · K edits only the selected pair. ⌘/Ctrl + wheel zooms · Space + drag pans

Line guides

Each guide repeats on every text line.

Show font metric guides

Guide position is measured upward from each line’s baseline. Preview guides are saved with the project but are not exported into the font.

Snapping

Align outlines, guides, and spacing precisely.

Enable snapping Snap to glyph edges Snap to font and preview guides Snap distance px

Hold Option/Alt while dragging to temporarily ignore snapping. The advance line can snap directly to the outline’s right edge.
