Make your own free Hebrew font — turn your handwriting into a real, installable font with nikkud, right in your browser.
Design this mark from an uploaded image (per-symbol or from a combined sheet) on its own editing tab — the full align & trace tools live there. Uploaded mark shapes apply to all letters.
Thickens every traced letter's strokes by the amount below. Nothing changes until you press Apply, one Undo reverts it all, and applying again stacks on top of the current weight. A positive weight also sets the font's Style to Bold.
The font engine downloads once (about 8 MB) and is reused every time after this.
Saved in this browser only. Pick them in any IvritSuite tool's font selector. Up to 10 — saving an 11th drops the oldest.
The Hebrew Font Maker uses precise tracing and a lot of fine controls — it's much easier on a desktop or laptop. You're welcome to keep going on this device, but it may feel cramped.
Drawing letters with a stylus or your finger works well on a tablet this size.
You can change any of this later — it all lives in Font Details and Settings.
Pick Bold to export this project as the Bold style of the same family — install the Regular and Bold files together and the B button switches between them.

Your edited font will be rebuilt by IvritSuite from the letters you see in the editor — the original's Hebrew letterforms, vowels, mark positions, combined forms, Latin letters, punctuation, line metrics and kerning come along; its hinting and hand-tuned internals don't.
Yiddish and Ladino forms start empty; English letters come across when the original has them.
Cyrillic letters come across when the original has them.
Phoenician letters come across when the original has them.
Imperial Aramaic letters come across when the original has them.
Samaritan letters come across when the original has them.
No starting font matches that search.
Your version keeps the original font's license — the Font Maker locks it for you and carries the required credits into every export.

Copies the current letter's position & scale (its image transform — not its traced outline) onto the letters you pick, overwriting their current alignment. You can undo it.
Copies where this letter's nikkud & trop marks sit (the anchor positions) onto the letters you pick, overwriting theirs. You can undo it.
Drops a letter's traced outline into this letter as a starting point — then reshape it (e.g. copy Tav and delete the toe to make Het, He or Resh) with ✎ Edit points. The current letter's width & spacing stay as they are. You can undo it.
A named group of letters you can kern as a unit (e.g. all wide-top letters). Use it on either side of a pair; editing the class later updates every pair that uses it.
