## What it is
Glyphr Studio v1 is a free, web-based font editor aimed at hobbyists and typeface design beginners, offering vector glyph editing, kerning, ligatures, and import/export of OTF, TTF, and SVG fonts. This v1 repository is now deprecated in favor of Glyphr Studio v2, with only major bug fixes planned.

## Use cases
- design a font in the browser
- edit glyphs of a ttf font
- create a typeface without expensive software
- import svg shapes into a font
- export opentype font files
- test kerning and ligatures for a hobby font

## When to choose
- you want a free, no-signup, browser-based font editor for hobbyist typeface design
- you need simple vector glyph editing with OTF/TTF/SVG import and export
- you're a beginner in font design and want a low barrier to entry

## When to avoid
- you need actively developed features - use Glyphr Studio v2 instead
- you require professional-grade font engineering like variable fonts or advanced OpenType features
- you need offline desktop font editing software
