grass flower font

grass flower is a custom font that I created by using Calligraphr. Calligraphr is a website that allows users to create their own custom fonts at a free cost. I learned about this website thanks to my coworkers. I also used Font Squirrel that generates webfont for free. For more detailed tutorial for custom fonts, please check out this article. Hope you enjoy this and perhaps have fun making your own as well 🎈

Why the font is named as 'grass flower'

I named it after one of my favourite Korean poems, 풀꽃(pulkkot) meaning 'grass flower'.
