The whole thing, start to finish

1. Write the sample. We hand you 30–50 specific characters. They're chosen to capture how you write — pressure, slant, the way you close and tail strokes — not random.
2. Capture it. Photograph the paper with your phone, or write straight onto an iPad with an Apple Pencil.
3. Let the model learn your hand. It studies your sample and generates the rest of the font in the same style — for Chinese, that's 6,500+ glyphs you never had to draw.
4. Download OTF + TTF. Roughly an hour later. Install it like any font. (Which format should you use?)

The detailed version is in the handwriting-to-font workflow guide.

What "your own font" gets you that a downloaded one never will

A free handwriting font off a font site is someone's hand — not yours. When the font is cut from your own writing, the output reads like your voice. People use theirs for:

• Diaries and journaling apps, set as the default so typing feels like writing.
• Wedding invitations and stationery — the exact problem MoFont was born to solve.
• A small brand or shop identity that no competitor can copy, because it's literally your handwriting.
• Love letters, cards, and notes that look handwritten but are typed in seconds.

Does it really cover every character?

This is where most make-your-own-font tools quietly fail. Latin scripts need a couple hundred glyphs; CJK needs thousands, and the rare characters in the long tail are the ones that break naïve systems. MoFont is built specifically to render that long tail consistently — so the font doesn't fall back to an ugly default the first time you type an uncommon name.

What it costs

One payment, the font is yours — full pricing here. No subscription. No watermark. No "premium" tier that unlocks your own handwriting. We charge once because training a per-person CJK model costs real compute; after that, it's your file to keep forever.

FAQ

How many characters do I actually have to write? About 30 to start, up to ~50 for the cleanest result. The model generates the remaining thousands in your style.

Will the font work in Microsoft Word / Photoshop / Figma? Yes — it's a standard OTF/TTF. If an app has a font menu, your font shows up in it.

What languages are supported? Simplified Chinese (6,500+) today. Japanese (7,000+) and Korean (2,350+) are in development; Traditional Chinese is on the roadmap.

Do I keep the font if I stop paying? There's nothing to stop paying — it's a one-time purchase. The OTF/TTF files are yours.
