Font Sources:
- System Fonts: Chrome/Edge only. Instantly loads ALL fonts installed on your OS (including CJK).
- Upload Font: Drag any .ttf/.otf file from your computer.
- Cloud Presets: Curated small-size fonts fetched instantly from our CDN.
- IndexedDB Cache: Your last font is remembered across sessions automatically.
Algorithms:
- Spline: Precise Bezier curves per glyph contour.
- Fourier: Continuous epicycle loops for each character path.
- Chaikin: Smooth polyline corner-cutting per contour.
Reveal (Delayed Rendering):
- Sweeps: Strokes appear along a direction (L→R, T→B, diagonal).
- Radial: Expands from the center, or from a custom origin.
- Sequential / Random: Stroke-by-stroke draw order, fixed or shuffled.
- Mono first: Art appears in monochrome, then color spreads in with its own strategy and lag.
- ALT+CLICK the canvas to set the radial origin.
Tips:
- Use Shift + Enter to input a newline.
- Some fonts may require a space at the start or end of the text to prevent missing shapes.
- If 'Access System Fonts' fails, switch to Chrome/Edge, as Firefox/Safari block local resource access.
- For CJK text, use "System Fonts" API (Chrome) or upload a Noto CJK font.
- Large CJK fonts (10-30MB) are cached in IndexedDB after first load.
- Use transparent background + PNG for best overlay results.
