For this class I’m teaming up with my husband and fellow skillshare teacher, Jake Bartlett to give you an in-depth guide on how to create a professional font. This is something we love doing together and wanted to share our process with you. I’ll start by getting your thinking about your own font design, then we’ll grab our sketchbook or tablet and draw out our characters, make any revisions so that all our letters look cohesive, then go into Illustrator to get them ready to turn into a font.

Once the characters are vector, Jake will get into the nitty gritty of making your font function properly with Glyphs Mini. If you don’t have Glyphs Mini, don’t worry you can download a free 30-day trial. Glyphs Mini is an incredibly powerful tool that makes the process of converting your vector illustrations into a working font extremely easy. Jake will show you how to get your charters into Glyphs, correctly space and kern your font, and then test and refine until it’s a perfect font ready to use, sell or share with friends.

Let’s jump in and get started! I can’t wait to see the font you create!
