Field notes
The workflow offers browser drawing or a phone photo of handwriting on ordinary paper, then describes live previews and controls for size, baseline, spacing, and redrawing characters. The free tier is listed as supporting basic Latin letters, numbers, and punctuation with TTF output; Pro is described as adding extended characters and formats including OTF, WOFF, and WOFF2. The page names a range of destination apps, while noting that Canva font uploads require a paid Canva plan.
