Draw in Tamil
Write vowels, consonants, and the required Tamil forms with Apple Pencil and script-aware guides.
Draw Tamil characters with Apple Pencil, refine how every glyph sits, and export your handwriting as an OpenType font you can install and use.
No account · No handwriting uploads · OTF export
Three focused steps
No scanning, desktop font editor, or type-design experience required.
Write vowels, consonants, and the required Tamil forms with Apple Pencil and script-aware guides.
Adjust size, position, and alignment character by character. Add smoothing when a stroke needs a cleaner finish.
Type Tamil text using your work, name the typeface, and export a Regular OTF or Light, Regular, and Bold files.
Made for Tamil typography
Tamil Typo handles the script’s base characters, dependent marks, combinations, shaping, and spacing as one connected system.
Apple Pencil pressure adds variation to your writing, while optional smoothing helps tame uneven curves.
Work through Tamil vowels, consonants, signs, and special forms in a workspace organized for the script.
Try words and sentences using the same OpenType shaping and spacing used by the exported font.
Export OTF files and save or share them using the iPadOS share sheet.
Private by design
Tamil font creation happens on your iPad. Your character drawings are not uploaded to our servers.
