I made a (free) tool for designing fonts on the web, seeking feedback
Hi typography community! Treading lightly because I have utmost respect for your craft. I've hesitated about posting this here, seeking your esteemed feedback on my project.
link: nibfont.com
It's an app for designing fonts directly in your browser, with realtime collaboration similar to figma, with realtime sync + cursor chat + updates, all on an infinite canvas.
Other features:
-
Reusable components for diacritics, etc.
-
Spiro tool similar to fontforge
-
AI glyph generation using Quiver's SOTA vector generation model (possibly controversial)
-
Live text previews and kerning directly on the canvas
-
Fine-grained Bézier editing, including tangent-locked moves
-
Adjustable sidebearings, font metrics, and overshoot guides
So, yeah, I made this up to this point as a personal fun project for understanding fonts and realtime sync engines better, but I would love love love some feedback from people who design type.
🤙 thank you
