Descrizione
Go beyond choosing the same typefaces from the type menu to creating your own! In this two-day class, you will learn the basics of designing and generating a variable font with the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only).
On the first day, we will learn the basics of drawing a font, draw our first few letters, generate the font, and use it in an Adobe app or a web browser. Then we will add additional letters to the font, learn how to space them, add diacritics and punctuation.
On the second day, we will design a bold version of the same typeface, create a variable font—and make it animate in a web browser.
At the end of the class, you will not have a finished font, but a respectable start and a good understanding about how fonts are made. And maybe you’ll become a type design addict. You have been warned.
