Turn your font fantasies into realities with Fontographer, the industry-standard for font design on the Macintosh and Windows. Designed for graphic artists, type designers, and technical professionals who want to modify their existing fonts or create new fonts from scratch, Fontographer's precision drawing tools make type design as easy or advanced as you need it to be.

With Fontographer, you can quickly modify your existing fonts, add fractions to your existing typefaces, or create lighter or heavier versions of your fonts. You can easily scan in a signature, autotrace it, and make it a font. Blend any two fonts to create a completely new font. Use a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet to create a font with your own handwriting; or take advantage of our Calligraphic Pen tool to create customized calligraphy for invitations and announcements. You can even place your company logo into a font and then use it by typing one simple keystroke in any program with a font menu.

Let's face it -- the fonts you use say a lot about you and your company or clients. Now you can use Fontographer to create a library of typefaces that project the right image for everyone.
