Crop each symbol from the alphabet chart once. The tool traces it into outlines, so the glyphs are vector like the stem line and stay sharp at any size — no soft or stepped edges when you scale up. Exports as PNG or SVG.
Slots follow the chart — five columns, top to bottom — so you can snip and paste straight down each one without hunting. The red band on a preview is the vertical stroke the stem will replace; amber means no vertical was found and the glyph was centred on its densest point instead. Select a slot and use the arrow keys to shift where the line runs, or rename if I've labelled a glyph wrongly.
Fastest route: open the chart at full zoom beside this page, then snip a glyph and paste, snip and paste. Windows Win+Shift+S and macOS ⌘+Ctrl+Shift+4 both copy straight to the clipboard without saving a file. Tracing only recovers detail that's in the pixels you give it, so zoom in as far as your screen allows.
Spelled in sounds, not English letters. Edit a sequence, or add a name and transcribe it yourself.
How the crop is turned into outlines. The red band on each preview is the stem stroke the tool found and will strip out; amber means it couldn't find one and fell back to centring.
Ink and paper points set what counts as stroke and what counts as background; widen the gap if the crop is greyish or compressed. Smoothing removes trace wobble — too much rounds off genuine corners, so turn it down if sharp points go blunt. Stripping removes each glyph's own piece of stem so the line can be drawn once at a single weight; switch to keep-as-captured if a glyph looks gutted, which means its stem band was misdetected.
The stem now runs from the top of the first glyph to the bottom of the last, threaded through each glyph's own vertical stroke. Sentence marks stay off for names — turn them on only for a full phrase. Preview ink is light for this dark page; switch to oil black before exporting for white paper. SVG is the one for framing, engraving or vinyl.
Click any stroke that shouldn't be there — usually a neighbouring glyph caught in the crop. Click a dimmed stroke to bring it back.
