Handy Font-Building Tool

FontStruct is an ingenious little font-building tool made available for free to registered users by FontShop. It’s SUPER user-friendly and allows you to create your own fonts from simple geometrical shapes. It’s VERY basic, but kind of fun and quite addicting.

Once you’ve created an alphabet, FontStruct generates a TrueType font for you, ready for any Mac or Windows machine. No application to download. Simply register at fontstruct.fontshop.com/sign_in/fontstructor to start playing.

You can keep your FontStruction to yourself or share it with other users. Explore the The Gallery of fonts made by other users and download them or copy them and make your own variations. Some are pretty obnoxious, but there are a a handful of really elaborate ones. Check out the Structorosa family by pauldhunt and all of the fonts created by nathancox. Amazing what some people have managed to do with this simple tool!
