Procedural font engine · SDK and API
Custom fonts, inside your product.
Let your users make their own typeface.
Real, installable fonts in milliseconds, without leaving your app. Press a letter and turn: this is the engine.
Set in Expo
Turn it.
Read the call.
Every change writes the code and compiles a whole font, right here in your browser. The numbers are what your machine just did.
import { createEngine } from "@typomat/engine";
const engine = await createEngine({ licenseKey });
const ttf = engine.compile({
weight: 118,
contrast: 0.92,
width: 0.9,
xHeight: 470,
serif: 0.5,
serifShape: -0.6,

One engine.
Endless faces.
Each of these is the same drawing code, with different numbers. 64 parameters reach from hairline to poster, serif to stencil.
weight 90 · contrast 0.75 · slant 12
weight 150 · width 0.62 · contrast 0.05
weight 118 · contrast 0.92 · serif 0.5
weight 170 · width 1.5 · contrast 0.05
weight 70 · arch 1 · contrast 0.6
weight 120 · flare 1 · contrast 0.5
weight 14 · width 1.5 · contrast 0
weight 160 · stencil 1 · contrast 0.1
No prompt.
No waiting.
AI font generators answer a description. Typomat is an instrument: your users shape the font directly, and it answers while their hand is still moving.
| Compared | A prompt-to-font generator | Typomat |
|---|---|---|
| What the user does | Describes a font, then asks again | Turns a dial and watches every letter follow |
| How fast it answers | A wait for each attempt | A whole font in about 90 ms |
| Where it runs | Usually on someone's GPU | In the visitor's browser, or on your server |
| Same input twice | Usually a different result | The same letters, every time |
| Changing one thing | Regenerate and hope | Move one number. Nothing else moves |
