.thaanafont projects
Editable project source stored as ZIP + JSON, separate from final font binaries.
Dhivehi Font Studio
A complete desktop studio for Dhivehi / Thaana type design.
The Maldives' first and only dedicated font studio combines drawing, tracing, spacing, RTL kerning, OpenType, proofing, testing, fili and anchor engineering in one application.
Built as a real desktop tool
Design environment + font engineering engine.
Dhivehi Font Studio uses a Tauri 2 desktop shell, React + TypeScript interface, a Canvas 2D glyph editor and Rust engines for core project and font work.
Multi-document workflow
Open, save, save-as, save-copy, recent files, multi-document tabs and project backup files.
Import existing fonts
Import TTF / OTF into a new editable project without overwriting the original font file.
Project templates
Start with the character system you actually need.
Templates range from a complete Dhivehi engineering setup to mixed Dhivehi + Latin and blank projects.
Recommended
Dhivehi Pro
Full Thaana glyph setup, fili, anchors, OpenType template, proof strings and RTL defaults.
Dhivehi / Thaana
Thaana Unicode block and essential characters.
Dhivehi + Latin
Thaana with basic Latin characters and numerals.
Latin

Empty Font
A clean blank project for custom character systems and experiments.
Engineering preview
Variable design space
Masters, interpolation and axis tools are available; variable font binary export is still in development.
Workspaces
Dedicated views for each stage of font production.
Move between specialized environments without leaving the project.

Vector workflow
Draw directly or bring artwork from your design tools.
Work with Bezier paths, direct node editing, freehand pencil, Power Brush, shapes, cutouts and components. Desktop clipboard support lets imported vectors remain editable and independent.

Export
Static font output for production use.
Compile the current project - including unsaved in-memory edits - into standard desktop font formats.
TrueType TTF
Quadratic font output suited to Windows and Microsoft Word workflows.
CFF OpenType OTF
Real cubic CFF output rather than a renamed TrueType file.
OpenType tables
GDEF, GPOS, GSUB and core font tables are compiled when project data is available.
