Tired of the ten and more years old fonts? You can now make your own font with the help of just one program.

While many designers use high-end graphics applications to add effects to text, this program provides a more specialized and economical solution for stylizing TrueType fonts. The program has many unique features, such as the randomizer, which generates a series of random text effects and displays the results in a slideshow window. Output options are plentiful, but in order to retain a fully editable vector image, you must save your text as a FontTwister file (FTF).

Some of the preset and random effects are cheesy, but the program gives you extensive control over each effect so you can design text effects to meet specific needs. What is more, the developer’s web site has many additional styles, textures, and fonts that you can download for free.

All in all, FontTwister is intelligently designed and easy to use. It is the fastest and easiest way to create dazzling text effects. FontTwister comes with an impressive selection of templates for graphic styles, color gradients, textures, shapes, letter edges, 3-D bevels, shadows, buttons and frames. Simple intuitive controls let you interactively real-time view and select your desired effect. You can reedit text and effects at any time. The effect generator creates unlimited variations of amazing text effects.

FontTwister supports several popular image formats (.BMP, .JPEG, .PNG, .TIFF, .WMF). FontTwister is a very compact program (2.8 MB). It is free to try for 30 days and is supported by Windows 98 / Me / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Server 2008 / 7.

Check it out at Twister.
