One of my biggest disappointments in with my specific art school was that in my Typography classes, I took a typeface from concept all the way through creation, but stopped right at the end. It was never converted into an actual typeface. This never sat well with me, as I was left with this itching question of WHY?
Why spend the time to create an entire type family if you never convert it to a usable font format?
Recently I have stumbled across a website that put some relief in my OCD and give an opportunity to create a font! Best of all its FREE, and Pretty easy.
If you are looking for a quick typeface creator, checkout http://www.myscriptfont.com.
They give you a template to place your text on, or even freehand if you like,
Then you load it on their site.
