FontLab 8 is a powerful, integrated font editor for both Mac and Windows, designed to streamline the entire font creation process. Whether you are working on a simple design or a complex font project, FontLab brings innovative tools and features to help you create professional fonts from start to finish.

Key Features:

  • Expressive Glyph Design:
  • Turn letters into art with bitmap autotracing and live calligraphic strokes. Draw and edit smooth and consistent glyphs using fractional or integer precision, with intelligent snapping and live numeric and visual measurements.
  • Refine your designs by creating overlaps, simplifying paths, and equalizing stems. FontLab allows you to scale while maintaining stroke thickness, globally adjust weight and width, and find and fix imperfections with ease.
  • Advanced Glyph Assembly and Spacing:
  • Build glyphs from variable components or self-adjusting segments or corner skins. Easily add accented glyphs with a simple double-click.
  • Space and kern in multi-line tabs or windows that resemble a text editor, offering a more intuitive and efficient workflow.
  • Add typographic smartness, including ligatures, small caps, and old-style numerals, with automatically-generated OpenType features. Test your work in the integrated, complex-script text engine.
  • Color Fonts and Variable Fonts:
  • Explore new creative directions by extending your font design with color and variable fonts. You can create, open, extend, test, and export font families, variable OpenType fonts, color fonts, and web fonts for any Unicode writing system.
  • Interchange and Workflow Integration:
  • Seamlessly interchange your work with other font editors like FontForge, RoboFont, or Glyphs. FontLab also supports Python 3 scripts and powerful add-ins to supercharge your workflow.
