FontLab Professional Suite is a complete type production environment that handles the full lifecycle of a professional typeface, from initial drawing and design exploration through spacing, kerning, hinting, and final export in all standard font formats.
Variable font support enables the design and mastering of fonts with multiple design axes, producing modern variable fonts that interpolate smoothly between defined masters for weight, width, optical size, and any other custom axis.
Script and automation tools let you apply global operations across an entire glyph set — renaming, transforming, cleaning up contours, and batch exporting — making the repetitive technical tasks of font production manageable at scale.
Component-based glyph construction builds accented characters and complex glyphs from reusable base components, so an update to a base letter propagates automatically to every glyph that uses it as a component.
FontLab Professional Suite is the type design platform for professionals who need every tool required to produce a complete, technically excellent, commercially viable typeface from a single, deeply capable application.
