fontstruct

Friday, July 23, 2010

Recently I stumbled upon this really cool website called FontStruct (really cool for my design-oriented dark side). Basically what you can do on this website is create fonts out of modules. The main tool is called the FontStructor and it allows you to place modules onto a grid for ~2000 different text characters. Here you can see it at work:

Apart from creating fonts, you can also share it with the font community, and view and download others' works as well. And the best part is: all this is for free! :D

The main reason why this website interests me is because I have always been wanting to make fonts but unable to find suitable software to do so. Additionally, this website has really intuitive tools, but has even more functions and stuff for more advanced font-makers.

I myself have created a serif font with loads of support for additional and extended Latin groups. I really like the look of it (obviously because I created it myself). You can find my font here.
