Take a few hours with iFontMaker on the iPad and tap, tap, draw, drag, pinch through the alphabet. And you may end up with a truetype font that you can write with on any computer, whenever the font is installed.Take a few hours with iFontMaker on the iPad and tap, tap, draw, drag, pinch through the alphabet.

What you can do with iFontMaker is not something that can't be done with a Wacom tablet for the computer, but it's a nice example of a production tool that actually can be used to a kind of production, which you as oppose to most of the productivity labeled apps hardly can produce anything with, just administer.

In may 2010, during the TypoBerlin conference, we put our noses against the window of Buchstabenmuseum at their location in Leipzigstraße near U-bahn Spittelmarkt. Inside there was a wonderland of 3D letters. Unfortunately open only 2 hours, one day a week.
