Making your own typeface is easier than you think! With a few simple steps, you can create a custom typeface that matches your distinct style. Whether you’re a designer or a newbie, this guide will show you how to create your own font bundle for personal or business usage.
Create your own font
Make your own style. Everyone would like to use something new. Let people get your design on the personal project as well as commercial.
To create your first very own style, you require an application that will convert your art into a font that can be used in WINDOWS/MAC.
Free font download here, also show some supports by your kind donation.
You can use any application that can export your font design in SVG/EPS format. I have Inkscape which is free to download. Adobe Illustrator is also best (subscription required).
I have Inkscape for vector art and FontForge to create font files.

Follow these steps to create your own font
Step 1: Design your own style- Open the style program (Adobe Illustrator/Inkscape..) and start with simple styles for alphabets and then go for numeric characters. Save each character in a separate file like letter_a.svg and letter_b.svg as the below file is la.svg for letter A.
You would have to save all 26+26+10=62 characters in individual files (capital+small+numbers).
Step 2: Open a new file in fontforge and click the box associated with letters. It will open a design window where you can design a fully new character or you can insert it from the supported format like Image, EPS, SVG, PDF page graphic, Glif, Raph’s plate files, and XFig.
Import file-
Step 3: Here you can move points to manage the design or delete.
Manage the width. Your font left and right space is managed here. Click menu – Metrics
Transform your font by moving and increasing the size. Click menu – Element – Transformations – Transform
Move – On the X and Y axis.
Rotate – By degree.
Scale uniformly – By percentage.
More options here like scale, flip….
Close this window after designing.
Step 4: Do the same process with all other letters (capital and small letters). Save font details like name, copyright, comment, and version. Go to menu Element – Font info
Now generate your new font style. File – Generate font
You can save them in TTF and OTF format and send them to friends or use it to design your own advertising, designing (flyers, banners) or just for personal use.
