More fun with fonts

Another fun find for you today. Wordle.net is a word cloud generator that will produce a graphic for you like the ones above and below that I called f-words. Go there, type in a bunch of words and it will make 'em purty for ya. Just keep clicking the randomize button at the bottom, or change the font and arrangement until you have something that makes you happy.
Very fun little site!

I've puttered a bit with creating my own fonts. It's very labor intensive and takes a long time to create something that is actually usable. Hours of tweeking and testing and nudging (and that's just getting situated in the chair and ready to work.)

Today I came across a spiffy little website that entertained me for an hour or so. Click HERE and you can go and make your own font from your own handwriting.
It takes a scanner and about 20 minutes - depending on how anal you are about the letter shapes - and then you too can feel like a typographical genius.

I was not too concerned about correct sizing because I wanted it to have a nice natural feel. Besides, if I want it to be perfect I'll break out the font making program... and spend all those hours and days and...

And now I give you... Becky Font.
