What is typlr.app?
typlr.app is an innovative online font editor designed for both beginners and professionals seeking to create custom typefaces. The application features a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive toolset, allowing users to draw vector contours, edit glyphs, and manage components without duplicating elements.
One of its standout capabilities is an AI-driven kerning functionality (currently in beta), utilizing a machine learning model to automatically adjust the spacing between characters for optimal readability and design precision.
