Microsoft has introduced its own “Microsoft Font Maker” in March 2018. An app for Windows 10 & later (Linked at bottom). Its interface is quite plain. You will see the Blank Template page on the Home screen.
Note that when you start using the app you will notice you cannot undo or erase once anything has written. It has just released so they are working on more features. But you can use “Save” button after drawing each successful letter. This app is only compatible on Microsoft devices with Touch Feature or with any Input Tablets like Wacom.
