How to create your own fonts??

We will use a cool website fontstruct to create the fonts. Its really easy to use and you can create some awesome fonts using this. Here are the steps:

• First go to this website, 'Fontstruct' and sign up for a new account  

• As soon as you sign in you will see a yellow box saying create new fontstruction, click on it 

 

• Then it will ask you to provide a name for the font. Name it anything you like

• Now you are in the main page where you can create your fonts. Something like this will be shown

• The fun part starts here. Everything you see here is quite simple to understand. You can use the bricks available at the left side and draw whatever shape you want for the letter A. Click on preview to see how it looks.

• There are 100's of bricks available and seriously your imagination is the limit when it comes to how you are gonna use them. 

• When your are satisfied with the letter 'A' just click on the next letter and draw the next letter. When you are done with designing all the letters you want click on save to save all your progress.

• Lastly click on download to download the font. It will download a zip file with your font in it. Extract the file anywhere and 'copy the font file'.
