Draw another a.
Add alternates for the letters you repeat. Stele rotates through them as you type, so nothing looks stamped.
Font maker for iPad and desktop
Make a font
that doesn’t
repeat itself.
Draw alternate forms and set connections as you work. Stele uses them in context and exports a working font.

⌁ Connections update as you draw
Stele turns your lettering
into a font.
Alternates, ligatures, and connections come from the letters you draw. You never write feature code.
Draw tt, fi, or any pair.
Assign your drawing to a character pair. Stele writes the OpenType ligature rule for you.
Join script without redrawing it.
Set high and low entries and exits, then inspect real letter pairs before you export.
Export the font you drew.
Keep pressure and textured edges in the exported outlines. Build styles and weights from the same source strokes.
iPad or desktop. Never both required.
The whole flow — drawing, alternates, export — runs on either one. Open the same project on both and pick up where you left off.
