I Built a Free Font, Signature & Logo Generator Because I Was Tired of Paying for Simple Branding

Spent last weekend building something that scratched my own itch.

Every time I launched a side project, I found myself opening three or four different tools just to create basic branding assets. I'd jump between Canva for a logo, another website for text effects, and yet another generator for signatures or social media headers. For simple projects, it felt like overkill—not to mention the subscription costs.

So I decided to build a tool that combines those basic branding needs into one place.

The idea was simple: generate custom fonts, signatures, and logo styles in seconds without needing any design experience. Whether you're launching a side project, building a landing page, creating social media graphics, or just experimenting with a new idea, you shouldn't have to spend hours on branding.

I've been using it for my own projects to create quick logos, website headers, email signatures, and social profiles. It's saved me a surprising amount of time, especially when testing new ideas or MVPs.

One thing I've learned from building products is that founders don't always need advanced design software. Most of us just want something fast, simple, and good enough to get a project off the ground.

The response from a few friends and fellow builders has been encouraging, and it's made me realize there are plenty of indie hackers who have the same problem.

If you're building side projects, what's your current workflow for branding? Do you use Canva, Figma, AI tools, or something else? I'm always curious to see what other founders rely on.

The tool is free, and I've been adding features based on my own day-to-day needs as a builder. It's already become part of my startup toolkit, and I'm excited to keep improving it. 🚀

    Love the idea! I've been using placeholder logos for months because I hate wrestling with Illustrator. One question: does it let you customize the generated fonts (like adjusting letter spacing or line thickness)? That would seal the deal for me.

    Nice work! I've wasted hours in Canva tweaking fonts for side projects, so a tool that just spits out a clean signature and logo sounds like a lifesaver. Does it let you export in SVG for responsive headers?

    Nice! I've been burned by design tools that start free then hit you with a sudden paywall. Since you're keeping it free, what's the business model? Any plans to add vector export for logos so they scale cleanly on print materials?

    This is exactly the kind of tool that solves a real pain point for solo builders—no more fiddling with Canva templates that feel generic. Curious: do the signatures have export options for transparent backgrounds? That'd be clutch for email signatures.
