Have you looked into Prototypo [1] before?

I was about to suggest you try it, but I just went on the website and it seems it has been sunsetted, which is a shame. It was a very interesting idea — you could create your own fonts by changing sliders which would change all the different features of the font.

I backed their Kickstarter project [2] in 2014, but never really used it after their development builds. I suppose I imagined myself being able to design all these different typefaces, but when I was actually given the ability to, I preferred to stick to ones other people had created.

Also, here's a video from Adobe MAX 2015 where they show off a similar tool (called Project Faces) on an iPad. [1] As far as I know it never actually got released, though…?
