A FontStruct alternative for fonts you describe instead of build
FontStruct is a free font editor where you build letters from geometric shapes on a grid. FontGenerator starts from a description, a reference image or your handwriting and draws the whole font for you, then lets you refine it. They suit different jobs.
| Topic | FontGenerator | FontStruct |
|---|---|---|
| How a font is made | Describe the style, upload lettering you like, or write your alphabet; the font is drawn and built for you, then refined in Studio. | Build every letter yourself from geometrical shapes in the FontStructor editor. |
| Styles | Any style you can describe or show: script, serif, display, handwriting. | Whatever you can construct from its shapes: well suited to geometric, pixel and modular designs. |
| Files | TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2. | TrueType (TTF). |
| Cost | 100 free credits on sign-up; a font from a description starts at 100 credits. Paid plans from $19 a month or a $4.99 Font Pass. | Free, funded by advertising and sponsors. |
| Languages | Accented Latin, and in Studio Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese kana or Korean in the font’s style. | The characters you build. |

Questions
- Do I need design skills to make a font?
- Not with FontGenerator: a description or an image is enough to start, and you test the result in your own words before downloading. FontStruct rewards patience with its grid editor rather than drawing skill.
- Can I edit an AI-made font?
- Yes. In Studio you can change spacing, replace a letter with your own drawing, ask AI to redraw one, or add a weight and languages.
