Working on a new website for bem, would you like to see the brand identity behind it?

Yeah sure I will love to

I present Doodle Fonts, my entry for Config Makeathon.

Making a custom typeface can be very complex and time consuming. Nearly every designer who wants a weird little display font for one project ends up licensing something generic, begging a type designer for a favor, learning a new complex pipeline or quietly giving up. Custom type is gatekept — not by talent, but by tooling. The most personal element of a brand is the one most people aren't allowed to touch.

Doodle Fonts fixes that. It's a font foundry that fits inside a canvas. You draw each glyph — freehand pencil, shapes, a dot grid, whatever feels right — across a full 96-character set covering upper, lower, numbers and punctuation. The whole alphabet renders live as you go, every font is saved to a library with an "X / 96 drawn" progress count, and when you're done you export a real, working, installable OTF font file.

It's built with Figma Make so it runs where designers already live, with Supabase handling auth and storage so your fonts follow you across sessions.

Display and brand type doesn't need PhD-level kerning — it needs personality. Doodle Fonts collapses "learn pro software + lose a weekend" into "doodle for twenty minutes," turning type design from a specialist skill into something anyone on a team can do.

Everyone keeps telling designers to "just make a custom font." Now they actually can.

Can't wait to see how many fonts get created!

Wow I love this! I've always wanted to moonlight as a type designer...@Carlos Fernandez what's your fav typeface?
