When it comes to text, custom fonts represent creativity at their best. But creating custom fonts isn’t easy, and it is often very expensive; custom font software can cost up to $650!
Fortunately, if you can’t afford professional software for custom fonts - and if you are good with a pen - there is an affordable way to create your own fonts. Say hello to Fontifier.
Fontifier is as simple as downloading a template, printing it out at home, drawing your own font letters, scanning in what you drew, and coughing up $9. That’s right: for a mere $9 you can have your own, completely custom, hand-drawn font.
If you have ever needed a specific font, but couldn’t find it, or if you ever wanted to add a personal touch to your website, custom designs, or emails, or if you just want to make your own font for the fun of it, Fontifier is exactly what you need. Go and take a look at some custom fonts created with Fontifier, and then go see exactly what Fontifier offers.
And if introducing you to Fontifier wasn’t enough excitement for one day, three lucky readers will get their custom designed font from Fontifier for free, courtesy of Creative Something.
That’s right. I am offering three lucky readers the chance to create their own custom, hand-written font for free. All you have to do to win your free custom font is: download the font template from Fontifier, fill it out, scan in your font template, and then email your design to “information AT creativesomething.net”. It’s that easy.
The most creative, best-looking fonts sent to me will be made via Fontifier at no cost to you. Best of all: the font will be your property: all rights will be yours and you can use your font as you see fit - you can even sell your font if you want!
But hurry and get your fonts designed, I will only accept fonts submitted to me by March 25th. And once three fonts have been selected, there won’t be another chance to win your own custom font.
And while you’re here, consider subscribing to Creative Something for free, to get creative articles like this one as they happen.
