字体遍布整个网络，在您用于工作和学校的文档中，并嵌入在每个程序和应用程序中。您使用的字体类型可能是人们是否阅读您的内容或立即将其关闭的决定因素，因为它太难理解了。
如果您对所有其他字体不满意，您可以免费制作自己的字体。也许您甚至不想寻找新字体，因为您想要自定义字体，或者您已经尽了最大努力，但仍然找不到适合您项目的字体。
以下是可用的最佳免费字体制造商。当您创建自己的字体时，您可以完全控制字母和数字的外观，以便您可以个性化它的各个方面。
提示(Tip)：不确定如何使用自定义字体？了解如何在 Windows 中安装字体以获得帮助。
字体结构(FontStruct)
FontStruct ion 是FontStruct（一个可以下载免费字体的网站）上的一个工具，可让您制作自己的字体。如果您想要一个对每个像素都超级准确的简洁设计，您将需要使用此字体制作器。
它的工作原理是让您选择框来构造字体。有圆形、正方形、曲线和许多独特的设计来帮助您制作真正定制的字体。
您必须创建一个 FontStruct 帐户(create a FontStruct account)才能使用字体创建器，但它是完全免费的，只需一分钟即可完成。
您还可以从图库(from the gallery)中浏览其他免费字体创作以获取灵感，甚至下载它们以在您自己的项目中使用。
元翻牌(metaflop)
另一个基于网络的字体制造商可以在 metaflop 获得。这个字体生成器非常易于使用且高度可定制。有一个参数列表，您可以调整以将字体变成您想要的字体。您可以更改的一些设置将调整笔宽、比例、倾斜度、对比度和角。
在字体构建过程中更改每个选项时，您可以看到每个大写和小写字母的外观以及数字的字体更改外观。还有一个完整的句子，可以让您真正了解使用字体时的外观。
使用 metaflop 字体制作工具时不需要帐户。只需(Just)直接进入并进行所需的任何更改，然后通过选择open type font或webfont下载字体。
书法家(Calligraphr)
Calligraphr的字体制作者非常有趣，因为它会根据您的笔迹制作字体 。
您无需在他们的网站上调整设置，而是选择要自定义的字符，然后打印出需要用自己的笔迹填写的模板。将文档上传回他们的网站并等待构建您的字体。
构建字体后，您可以在线对其进行调整以更改画笔大小或添加其他线条。您可以将字体导出到TTF或OTF文件。
Calligraphr是完全免费的，但对您可以同时处理的字体数量以及字体可以包含的字符数量进行了限制。要解除这些限制和其他限制，您可以付费购买专业版(pay for the pro version)。
方蒂(Fonty)
Fonty字体制作器是一款Android应用程序，您可以在其中跟踪字母以根据您的笔迹构建字体集。在屏幕上书写比在像Calligraphr这样的纸上书写要困难一些，但如果您想在手机或平板电脑上使用自定义字体，这就是这样做的方法。
如果您希望您的自定义字体也可以在其他应用程序中使用，您可以在此应用程序中安装Fonty键盘。(Fonty)
此字体创建器的其他一些显着特点是它会自动保存您的工作，支持各种字符（字母、数字、符号），允许您为字体添加形状，并允许您使用橡皮擦真正自定义每个字符工具。
FontLab不是免费的字体制造商，但它可以在 30 天内完全正常运行，之后您必须付费才能继续使用它。它适用于Windows和Mac，并具有许多您在上面列出的免费字体生成器中找不到的很棒的功能。
您可以将此字体制作器视为一种专门用于创建字体的Photoshop工具。(Photoshop)有用于绘图的电动画笔和铅笔工具，大量微调工具以及其他超精确的编辑功能。甚至还有一个名为FontAudit的工具可以检测不一致和奇怪的曲线，基本上在整个构建过程中审核您的字体。
当您完成使用FontLab制作自己的字体时，您可以确定它确实是独一无二的。请(Just)记住，该程序虽然非常适合精确编辑，但学习曲线非常陡峭，在寻找易于使用的字体生成器时应该是您的最后选择。
How To Create Your Own Font
Fonts arе all over the web, in documents you υse for work and school, and embeddеd in every program and app. The type of font yоu use can be a determining factor in whether people read уour сontent or dismisѕ it right away becausе it’s too hard tо follow along.
You can make your own font for free if you’re not happy with all the other fonts out there. Maybe you don’t even want to look for a new font because you want a customized one, or maybe you’ve tried your hardest but still can’t find the right font for your project.
Below are the best free font makers available. When you create your own font, you have full control over how the letters and numbers look so that you can personalize every aspect of it.
Tip: Not sure how to use a custom font? Learn how to install fonts in Windows for help.
FontStruction is a tool on FontStruct (a website where you can download free fonts) that lets you make your own font. If you want a clean design that’s super accurate to every pixel, you’ll want to use this font maker.
It works by having you select boxes to construct the font. There are circles, squares, curves, and lots of unique designs to help you make really customized fonts.
You have to create a FontStruct account to use the font creator, but it’s completely free and takes just a minute to finish.
You can also browse other free font creations from the gallery for inspiration, and even download them to use in your own projects.
Another web-based font maker is available at metaflop. This font builder is super easy to use and highly customizable. There’s a list of parameters you can adjust to turn the font into exactly what you want. Some of the settings you can change will adjust the pen width, proportion, slantness, contrast, and corner.
As you change each option during the font building process, you can see how every uppercase and lowercase letter looks and what the font changes look like for numbers. There’s a full sentence available, too, to get a real look at how the font will look when you’re using it.
No account is necessary when you use the metaflop font maker. Just jump right in and make any changes you want, and then download the font by selecting either open type font or webfont.
The font maker at Calligraphr is really interesting because it makes a font based on your handwriting.
Instead of adjusting settings on their website, you pick which characters you want to customize and then print off a template that you need to fill out with your own handwriting. Upload the document back to their website and wait for your font to be built.
After building your font, you can make adjustments to it online to change the brush size or add other lines. You can export your font to a TTF or OTF file.
Calligraphr is completely free but puts a limit on how many fonts you can work on simultaneously and the number of characters the font can contain. To lift those restrictions and others, you can pay for the pro version.
The Fonty font maker is an Android app where you trace the letters to build a font set based on your handwriting. Writing on a screen is a bit harder than on a paper like Calligraphr, but if you want to use your custom font on your phone or tablet, this is the way to do it.
You can install the Fonty keyboard from within this app if you want your custom-built font to be available in other apps, too.
A few other notable features with this font creator is that it saves your work automatically, supports all sorts of characters (letters, numbers, symbols), allows you to add shapes to your font, and lets you truly customize each character by using the eraser tool.
FontLab isn’t a free font maker but it is fully functional for 30 days, after which you must pay to keep using it. It works on Windows and Mac and has lots of awesome features you won’t find in the free font builders listed above.
You can think of this font maker as a sort of Photoshop tool that’s made specifically for creating fonts. There’s a power brush and pencil tool for drawing, tons of fine-tune adjustment tools, and other super precise editing functions. There’s even a tool called FontAudit that detects inconsistent and odd curves, basically auditing your font throughout the whole build process.
By the time you’re done making your own font with FontLab, you can be sure that it’s truly a one of a kind. Just remember that this program, while great for precise editing, has a very steep learning curve and should be your last choice when looking for an easy-to-use font builder.
