I love fonts, but oftentimes I find myself in awe at how expensive they are – and granted, you are paying for the quality in that they are scalable and crisp and have been crafted to perfection. But sometimes I wish I could make my own – quickly and simply.

Here are two great sites that will allow you to do just that!

Font Capture – www.fontcapture.com, is a site that allows you to easily take your own handwriting, or for that matter anything you want to draw and write out – and turn it into a font!

Here is a sample of one I created, called Zimmy. You can CLICK HERE to download it!

FontStruct – FontStruct / Fontshop is a flash based font construction site, that, allows you to create some truly amazing work – and also lets you view and download the works of others in the community. Sign up and start creating!
