Learn how to create your very own font using Glyphs 3.
If you’re new to font design and would like to make your own fonts in Glyphs 3, join me as we learn how to design and build a professional typeface.
In this class, we will break the process down into manageable sections; from setting up your Glyphs file to drawing letters, and making reusable components, through to spacing, kerning and finally exporting your font.
Who this course is for
If you are new to Glyphs 3, this class is for you. You will be guided from having never opened Glyphs 3 to designing and exporting your first working font. Some prior knowledge of creating vector shapes in Adobe Illustrator or similar will be an advantage but not absolutely necessary.
You will need:
- Glyphs 3 (not Glyphs Mini) installed on your Mac. A 30-day trial is available from the Glyphs website.
- Sketch pad and pencil. Great for notes and sketching letterform ideas.
- Graphics software – My preferred is Adobe Illustrator.
- FontBase (free version) – This is a great font manager and helps us to test our font with Adobe apps.
If you need a little help as you progress through this course, I’m available through the discussion section.
