If you are interested in creating your own fonts without paying anything for professional font creators, then FontStruct is the perfect web app that you should try!

FontStruct is a free font-building tool brought to you by the world’s leading retailer of digital type, FontShop. It lets you quickly and easily create fonts constructed out of geometrical shapes, which are arranged in a grid pattern, like tiles or bricks.

You create fonts using the FontStruct editor. It provides all the basic tools you need to build a font. The site is totally self explanatory and even comes with an easy screencast. Once you’re done building your font, FontStruct generates high-quality TrueType fonts which are ready to use in any Mac or Windows application.

You can keep your creations to yourself, or submit it to the FontStruct galleries from where others can download them or even copy them and make your own variations.

FontStruct is a very easy to use web app to create high-quality fonts, but some things you just can’t create with it. Such as the unconventional strokes of the exotic Zanzibar font.
