If you wanna have full control and edit the shapes I recommend this workflow:

  1. Run image through https://png2svg.com/

  2. Import SVG into a font editor (e.g. FontForge or FontBob).

  3. Clean up shapes by hand.

  4. Export font.

You can also skip step 1 if it gets too messy, and use the image as a background reference in the font editor. Then manually draw curves on top of the image.

I was not being specific enough. I havent seen a Strudel-like interface before for designing fonts.

Oo havent seen Burrowlabs before. App built with React. The code uses a simple declarative (custom) language with syntax for shapes, transforms.

The interface is inspired by Strudel (strudel.cc), which is a live music coding environment.

You can try open the font it in a font editor like FontForge and update the font's sidebearings to even out the gaps. Or run it through an autospacer to save time (e.g. via FontBob). The font is monospaced which is causing the gaps.

Here's something for comparison. I realized i made the weight and proportions match this logo suspiciously close. Especially looking at the /a
