Who it is forA web designer or personal site owner who wants a custom handwritten headline or body font.

The problemWeb fonts need several formats and a CSS snippet, which is tedious to set up by hand.

The outcomeWeb-ready WOFF and WOFF2 files plus a CSS @font-face snippet for your site.

What you need first

  • Node.js 18 or newer installed
  • A photo of your handwritten alphabet on paper, or a printed template filled in by hand
  • Claude Code installed if you want the skill route; the CLI works without it

Steps

  1. Build the font from your photo with npx draw-your-font make photo.jpg --chars "ABCabc" --name "My Hand".
  2. Add web formats by running npx draw-your-font make photo.jpg --chars "ABCabc" --name "My Hand" --formats ttf,woff,woff2,css. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Copy the generated @font-face snippet into your site stylesheet.
  4. Load a test page and confirm the font renders in the browser.

Prompt for your agent

Use the draw-your-font repo to build a font from <photo-path> with --formats ttf,woff,woff2,css and save the outputs to <site-assets-dir>. Expected output is WOFF, WOFF2, and a CSS @font-face snippet. Verify that the CSS references both the WOFF2 and WOFF files.

Caveat. The README lists web formats and a CSS snippet, but it does not describe how the font is tested across browsers, so check rendering yourself.
