Easiest Way to Create your Own Free Font Online

Umar — Thu, 14 May 2009 02:00:16 +0000

Recently, I’ve stumbled upon an excellent web tool that allows you to create your own free fonts. FontStruct comes with a very simple interface but does require a free registration to get started.

The whole process is very simply but its a little time consuming and may take up to 30 minutes to design a complete font style. It’s probably because you need to create each alphabet individually but I think it’s a great feeling to have and use something that you created on your own.

As soon as your font is created you will be able to download it .zip files together with a license document and a ‘read me’ document. This font files need to be extracted from this .zip file so you can install them. For further information regarding “Installation” click HERE.
