Buttonic
Buttonic is a free, browser-based parametric designer for the radial engravings stamped into
die-stamped jean and metal buttons — guilloché / engine-turned patterns, ring text, motifs and
monograms, all computed from the centre axis outward.
It exports mm-true SVG die files (which re-open as editable projects) and PNG mockups. Features
include radial hatch reeding, symmetric ring text with dividers, dozens of built-in motifs plus
custom SVG, boolean knock-outs and text halos, local and bundled fonts, and a live metal preview.
Buttonic needs JavaScript. Open
buttonic.app in a modern browser to use it.
