FontCreator is a font editor for designing and modifying TrueType and OpenType fonts. It runs on Windows and macOS, and supports the formats and workflows most font designers reach for: static and variable fonts, color fonts (COLR and SVG), web fonts (WOFF and WOFF2), the .glyphs source format, and Unified Font Object (UFO).
What's New in This Version
FontCreator 16 adds non-destructive Mask subtraction with full compound-shape support, a redesigned Masters and Layers panel that hosts every kind of attached layer, Path Decorations for designed corner and cap shapes, and Smart Components for parameterised glyph parts. The full list is in What's New.
