Oksana S.

I’m a Font Designer & Developer specializing in custom typeface design, logo-to-font conversion, OpenType development, and technical font engineering. I help brands and designers turn logos, custom lettering, and handwriting into distinctive, production-ready fonts for branding, packaging, print, and digital products. From creating a complete brand typeface to refining existing fonts and developing specialized lettering for manufacturing, I combine type design expertise with advanced font development skills to deliver reliable, professional results. Logo-to-Font & Custom Typeface Development I turn logos, logotypes, and custom lettering into complete, production-ready OpenType fonts that work consistently across branding, packaging, web, and print. Services include: • Custom typeface design and logo-to-font conversion • Basic Latin character-set development and glyph expansion • Glyph design, spacing, and kerning • Ligatures, stylistic sets, contextual alternates, and other OpenType features • Font modification, refinement, and character-set extension • Font testing and production-ready delivery The goal is to transform distinctive lettering into a functional typeface — not simply recreate the original logo as a collection of characters. Font Engineering, Python & Production Automation I work on the technical side of font development, helping designers and studios process, modify, and prepare fonts more efficiently. My technical work includes: • Python-based font processing and automation • FontTools workflows for glyph outlines, metrics, and font modification • Font rendering and glyph-metrics extraction • FontLab scripting and automated production tasks • Artwork integration and glyph-processing workflows • Automated conversion and preparation of specialized font outlines • Parametric monoline font families: code-driven workflows that generate multiple stroke weights from a shared skeleton, using stroke width as a controllable parameter Whether you need to modify an existing font, process a large glyph set, automate a repetitive task, or develop a custom font-production workflow, I can help build a solution around your requirements. Custom Fonts for Jewelry & Laser Cutting I develop and adapt lettering for personalized jewelry, laser cutting, and other manufacturing applications where typography must work beyond the screen. My manufacturing-focused workflows can include: • Custom connected lettering and reinforced thin elements • Stroke-width control, with a target minimum of 0.8 mm where appropriate for the material and production process • Font customization for names, short phrases, and personalized products • Production-oriented outline preparation and testing The goal is to create lettering that remains legible, connected where required, and durable enough for its intended application. Actual dimensions and tolerances are adapted to the material, equipment, and manufacturing method. Handwritten Font Development I digitize authentic handwriting from letters, notes, and archival documents into functional fonts that preserve the character and natural variation of the original writing. This can include: • Handwriting digitization and glyph reconstruction • Initial, medial, final, and isolated letterforms where appropriate • Contextual alternates and ligatures for more natural letter connections • OpenType feature development and testing • Spacing and kerning for a consistent, usable font These fonts are suitable for memorial keepsakes, family recipe cards, personal archives, and projects where preserving the character of someone's handwriting matters. SVG Fonts for CNC, Plotters & Technical Drawing I create single-stroke and open-path lettering for pen plotters, CNC engraving, and technical drawing workflows — either from scratch or by adapting existing fonts and lettering. Unlike conventional fonts built from closed contours, these designs use paths that machines can follow directly, rather than outlines that define filled shapes. Services include: • Custom single-line and open-stroke lettering • Conversion of existing lettering into centerline paths • Open-stroke outline generation and glyph refinement • SVG preparation for plotters, engraving, and other path-following machines • Specialized font workflows for technical and production use How I Can Help My services cover custom font development, typeface design, logo-to-font conversion, handwriting digitization, font customization and conversion, OpenType engineering, font-production automation, and specialized manufacturing typography. I work with both new typeface projects and existing fonts, including technically challenging tasks that require a combination of typography knowledge, font-editing tools, and scripting. If you have a logo, lettering sample, existing font, glyph set, or a font-production problem that needs a practical solution, I can help you identify the right workflow and deliver a production-ready result.
