## Description

Glyphon is a pixel font editor built for anyone who loves the craft of bitmap typography. Whether you're designing a retro game font, a lo-fi display face, or a complete character set, Glyphon gives you the tools to draw, refine, and ship your typeface — at your desk or in your pocket.

DRAW PIXEL-PERFECT GLYPHS
Work in a large pixel grid with pinch-to-zoom, a toggleable grid overlay, and draggable typographic guides for baseline, cap height, x-height, ascender, and descender. Drag any guide directly on the canvas for instant precision. Every stroke is undo-able.

FULL UNICODE SUPPORT
Your font isn't limited to the ASCII alphabet. Add glyphs for any Unicode range — Basic Latin, Latin Extended, Cyrillic, Greek, Hiragana, Katakana, Box Drawing, and more — in a single step.

EXPORT TO INDUSTRY FORMATS
When your font is ready, export it as:

- TTF — install directly on your Mac or share with other designers
- BDF — the open bitmap standard used in embedded and terminal applications
- JSON — a portable format for round-tripping with the Glyphon web app

DESIGN WITH PRECISION

- Per-glyph advance width with a live visual indicator on the canvas
- Origin-aware horizontal flip that keeps your left-bearing columns in place
- Shift pixels in any direction with a single tap or keyboard shortcut
- Copy and paste pixel designs between glyphs
- Flood fill for closed areas

LIVE PREVIEW
See your font render real text as you draw. Type any sentence into the preview strip to test spacing, rhythm, and readability at a glance.

SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Start a typeface on your Mac, refine it on iPad, finish a stubborn glyph on your phone. iCloud sync keeps every font current on every device — automatically. Each font is still a self-contained file you own.

DESIGNED FOR MAC, iPAD, AND iPHONE
Glyphon is a native SwiftUI app, at home on every Apple device. On Mac, every action has a keyboard shortcut. On iPad, pinch to zoom and swipe between glyphs. On iPhone, the full editor fits in your pocket — draw a font in a boring meeting and it'll be waiting on your Mac when you get back.
