Fontself is an Illustrator and Photoshop plugin (plus a standalone iPad app) that turns hand-drawn lettering or vector artwork directly into a working OpenType font file.
It skips the usual detour through a separate font editor - you letter something in Illustrator and export it as an installable font from the same file.
Aimed at lettering artists and illustrators who want to reuse their own handwriting as a font, not at type designers building a full retail family.
It's a one-time purchase rather than a subscription - roughly $49 for the Illustrator-only version, more for the Illustrator-and-Photoshop bundle - with no free tier found on the site.
