Custom fonts from scanned handwriting

Make handwriting useful, not just scanned.

Tracey turns a printed handwriting template into traced glyphs, reviewable font metrics, and an installable OTF file for stationery, craft, and small-batch print work.

Tracey printable handwriting template

Scanner and phone-photo aware

Registration marks help Tracey align the page before glyph extraction.

Print a real template

Use fixed-size boxes, registration marks, and a template manifest that Tracey can read back from scans and photos.

Review traced glyphs

Compare source cells with SVG traces, tune fidelity, spacing, baseline, scale, skew, and weight before export.

Export an OTF file

Install the generated font locally and use it in compatible desktop, design, and print workflows.

Templates

Fresh sheets are always available.

PDFs open inline for easier printing. You can download templates from here or from the editor while a font is open.

Project fit

Best for personal lettering that needs practical output.

  • Wedding invitations and place cards
  • Party labels and memory books
  • Scrapbook pages and planners
  • Gift tags and small-batch packaging

Starter

One project run, one custom font family, straightforward setup.

Signature

For multiple projects, style updates, and practical support extras.

Studio

For frequent makers working across clients and event series.

Plan before you export

Tracey is designed for paid export tiers. Read the workflow and compatibility notes before spending time on a final sheet.
