The fonts produced by others are used by everyone and there is no personality; I just want to create several sets of my own fonts. Used for work, you like it, have a sense of accomplishment, and personality; in addition, the font itself is a work, and it can also be sold as a product.

The Latin fonts used by users are generally designed and developed by foreign designers, so I have to try to develop them myself. Latin font library.
