Bezy

Bezy offers an open-source starting point for learning about font-editor code and customization.

Glyphs

Glyphs offers broad font design, scripting, and export tools on macOS, with a smaller Glyphs Mini option. The paid licenses and platform restriction define its fit.

Fontself

Fontself focuses on turning drawn lettering into fonts with desktop Adobe extensions and an iPad workflow. Check the Adobe-version requirement and one-time license terms before choosing it.

Type 3.2

Type 3.2 provides detailed glyph, kerning, hinting, and OpenType editing for static fonts. Its Windows-only design and lack of variable or layered color-font support define its main boundaries.

RoboFont

RoboFont provides a scriptable macOS environment for typeface creation, interpolation, and extension-based workflows.
