Any type heads should head over to Fontshop and investigate their new online font creation software — Fontstruct. The application enables you to create fonts entirely online in a simple yet flexible environment.

Read on to see some samples demonstrating what can be acheived. All the fonts created by users are free to download which is the icing on the cake. Link of the year for me so far.

I'm going to set our design team a challenge to create a font with this application and will post on Flim Flam very soon.
