Tegaki (手書き, Japanese for "handwriting") is an open-source library and generator that turns any font into text that writes itself stroke by stroke, in the order a hand would draw it. It extracts the strokes, stroke order and stroke width of every glyph in a font, then animates them on a canvas drawn over real, selectable DOM text, so the text stays accessible, searchable and copyable.

## What it includes

- The `tegaki` npm package: a framework-agnostic renderer with adapters for React, Svelte, Vue, Nuxt, SolidJS, Astro, Web Components, vanilla JavaScript and Remotion.
- Pre-generated font bundles for Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Devanagari, Bengali, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese, each under its own open font license.
- Tegaki Studio, a free in-browser generator and preview app that exports PNG, GIF, WebM, animated SVG and font bundles.
- These docs, also served as Markdown for coding agents at `/llms.txt`, `/llms-full.txt` and `/skill.md`.
