Fontstruct font maker


Well I have been looking at something for the Year 6s to be able to take away and use in their next school, at home, etc, as a way of remembering their primary school. I hit on the idea of them creating their own personalised font - using Fontstruct.
They were really taken with the project, and have been using the site at home. It is quite a lot of design work - 26 upper case and 26 lower, plus all the numerals, punctuation etc. They can download the completed font as a TrueType font, then place in C:\Windows\Fonts to use in Word, PowerPoint etc. Spent a while thinking about what makes a good font - and it doesn't matter that they're not all the same size - it creates a more interesting effect!
