Font Maker

Handwriting is unique to each individual, but this doesn’t mean writing on a computer needs to be any different. There are countless different fonts to use when writing for cool personalization of nearly any kind of text. What’s more, you can take matters into your own hands and fully customize fonts with applications like Font Maker.

On the bright side of things, the application doesn’t take you through a setup process, so you can start building your own fonts from the moment download is done. Needless to say that this makes it possible to have it carried around on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers with little effort.

It can take a little time until the application gets all of its assets ready, but shortly after launch, a font selection window is brought up. You need to start from an existing font, and this is a good thing, allowing you to use it as a template. Don’t worry, the original font doesn’t get replaced, unless you want to.

Several drawing tools are at your disposal, such as a generous canvas, color palette, and more. There’s the possibility to zoom in and out, select, copy, paste, add shadows, borders, and more. A name can also be added to each character for easy identification.

Although the application starts with the selection screen, loading a different one is only possible if the file is a bitmap font. Saving is either done as a bitmap font file, or building the font to be ready for use on your computer.

All things considered, we can state that Font Maker can come in handy when you can’t really find the right font for your projects and want to build your own. You can start off from any existing one, or from scratch, while the canvas and tools are sure to help you easily design unique characters.
