FontStruct fulfills the dreams of font-makers – for free

the strange allure of making your own fontsMy husband sighs over the curves of Palatino the way Hef lusts after his girls next door. My desires tend more toward Dyspepsia (or maybe I just ate too much moo shu for lunch today). But typography is one of those arts taken for granted, which could be precisely why I thought I could make my own beautiful alphabet.

As soon as I heard about FontStruct, I created an account for myself and started fonting away. I discovered that making fonts is easy with FontStruct! But making good fonts is not. I cleverly named by debut font “Strapless,” imagining it would be as slender yet curvaceous as John Singer Sargent’s famous Madame X. I should have called it Crapatino. Oh well.
