I wanted to make a font.
So I built a tool first.
It started with a simple question — can I create my own font? As a beginner with no typography background, the answer felt impossible. Every tool I found was either locked behind a paywall or buried under layers of complexity meant for seasoned type designers.
So I flipped the problem. Instead of fighting unfriendly software, I built my own — a simple, open tool where anyone can draw letterforms and export them as a working font file. No subscriptions. No steep learning curves. Just draw and ship.
Hari Sans is the first font made with that tool. Hand-drawn, imperfect, and very much real. And the tool? It's free for everyone to use.
