I appreciate the book recommendations. I'm picking up some of them now. Is the "Freelance and Business and Stuff" book really 87 dollars? Is there another place to buy it for less? Seems a bit excessive. - update - I was able to purchase it as an ebook from their site for 15. thanks!
awesome update. I was gunna say I got it for $20 but that was like 6 years ago
Thank You♥
no problem, Thanks for the support
This is genuinely the only video I’ve found that is super authentic and not frustrating to watch. I’ve been trying to get out of my corporate job because I just don’t think I’m built for that lifestyle. It genuinely makes me so depressed and exhausted and I would love to focus on working for myself while also having multiple streams of passive income to access financial and mental stability. Here’s to hoping. But anyways, I love your vibes man! thank you so much for the inspiration and i hope you’re doing well ❤️🔥🙌
hey that means a lot, I really try to just be as generous as I can with what I have learned Good luck and thanks for the support

What kind of license would i need for an indie short film going to festivals (if lucky hahaha)
it depends on the end use if you ever plan on getting it on TV then a broadcasting license, but those can be very expensive so I would only upgrade to that if you end up needing it. besides that I think a desktop or social media license would cover you in most cases.
AWSOME vídeo thank you imensely
thanks for the support, Just trynna help where I can and share what I have learned myself
Great tips and knowledge in this video! And coming from a humble dude who simply learned the ropes himself! Respect bro!
thanks for the support just trynna share what has worked for me.
Hey, I want to subscribe to That That Font Box. I have a question though. Can I use these fonts for using on books I publish through Amazon KDP?
Yeah you can use them for books
please get to the point in the next videos
I hear you. I wish there was an easier way to simplify font licensing. ill work on gettin staring to it in future videos
Really appreciate your videos and tips. I've been searching and searching. Honestly, digging for practical video tutorials and real advices not just mere words until I cam across your page. You are really amazing. You filled my design gaps, for real. Thanks. :)
thanks for the kind words. glad I was able to stand out. thanks for the support
I’m going to make it a uniform width to it, because the uppercase S is inspired by the “S” in the SHEIN logo in my sans serif font. (I don’t want to infringe on SHEIN's trademark.)
good looking out copyright with fonts kin be a tricky ting with laws that differ country to country. better save than sorry

Hello, what about the usage of fonts for youtube/tiktok videos? or thumbnails? There seems to be a lot of hard subtitled videos nowadays, and I'm a bit confused on how to properly use fonts for those..
that can be tricky and different from foundry to foundry That That License covers that usage with the regular commercial license. I imagine for other companies it would fall under the social media license.
@@ExtraCreditDesignClub I see, I mean as you suggested I just need to pay attention and read. Right now I am just using Google Fonts, but I just learned about license and this video really helped me to understand the complicated nature of font license 😅 Just preparing myself in case I'm interested in other fonts in the future :) Thank you so much for taking your time to respond, I really appreciate it ❤
Thank you. I am a font designer as you. And I want to sell my fonts in my website. Some of my fonts are: Manas, Cumhuriyet, Ninova etc.
awesome to hear. LMK if you have any specific questions.
Thanks for this very informative video!! I sell fonts from 2021 on Monotype (my foundry is called Gravitype) but I'm not even close to your numbers, while MyFonts being my most "profitable" platform. I also sell on Creative Market, Creative Fabrica and Font Bros but I barely get any sale, I suppose because my top typefaces are sans serif families. Do you think it's worth to pursue this path in 2024, maybe changing style to please Creative Market more? I was considering abandoning type because this hasn't been sustainable to me; after a very little wave of visility on MyFonts following a new release, my typefaces get lost forever in the algorithm :(
Still the best tutorial ever 🤗
thanks, I tried to make what I wish I had back in the day
Lovely typefaces! Maybe it would be worthwhile to include a link to them in the description? ;)
good call. you can get them all at ThatThatType.com
This is such a great explanation of what the Light Phone can do... and the experience I had with it as well! I'm a creative and art / design teacher who owned my own advertising agency for almost 20 years. I'm an artist and father and husband and brother and son and friend too. Yo. The spatula analogy is SPOT ON, bro!!! "SPATULA CITY!!" I quit my ad agency in 2018 to get off line. It worked. No more "social media" - YouTooz doesn't count; I watch it on my computer when I'm on my computer. I got a Light Phone 2 back a few years ago and absolutely LOVED it! It rocked my world and changed my life for the better. I was able to enjoy television shows again. Talk with friends. Be present with family. Then I got sick - don't get mono if you're over 50 - and "had" to go back to a smartphone for doctors, insurance, blah blah blah. We gave the Light Phone 2 to the kids for our "house phone" and so they could text friends or whatever. They LOVE it. They have never had, nor do they want, a "schmart phone" so it's perfect. Anyway, now I'm about to order a second Light Phone 2 for myself again. I'm all better and I miss not having this inane distraction all the time. (I will keep my smart phone as my camera.) Oh! And the questions is totally right on too! I am still better about looking up questions right away since I used the Light Phone 2 the first time. It's like the good ol' days! In fact I'm SHOCKED when people ask a question like, "What kind of car is that?" and just IMMEDIATELY get their phone out and look it up. I like to just wait now / still.
Thank you so much for these tips! It feels so difficult to break into Type Design as an industry, but these video makes me realize that it's an achievable reality!
awesome to hear. Its all about just starting to make the fonts you would love to use and putting them where similar designers would see them
Great video that I absolutely needed to watch. Thank you for making this, extremely helpful!
glad to hear it.

Illustrator is the only Adobe app that's got variables covered. Variable fonts are very poorly implemented in InDesign and PS. As a matter of fact I can't even get a single variable typeface to show, just their bundled standard family properties. There's no variable icon in the font-list like in Illustrator and there's no way to inspect the variable axes at all. All up to date and I've tried numerous variable fonts. C'mon Adobe?!
dang. For sure the support is not there but all in good time. Variable font support in after effects will be a game changer
if I am subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud, it says that all Adobe fonts are cleared for both personal and commercial use. Does it mean I can create logos and make physical prints for my client without purchasing a license???
yes it does. Good question I have had the same one
That’s what I’m talking about! Found myself a new guru
thanks I don't know if Im a guru just trynna share what has worked for me, I appreciate the support
But I’m an iPad user, And I don’t have a MacBook.
dang, I am not sure there is any industry standard font design software on in I pad.
@@ExtraCreditDesignClubI have the Letterforms app. It is a font designing app.
But Letterforms has a 7 day free trial and it ran out. So it told me to buy Letterforms Premium with lifetime trial and it costs $49.99 USD, And then it told me to use Credit/Debit card payment or PayPal payment. But my dad told not to take his credit card. I am an 11 year old boy and I’m so good at typography due to my neat handwriting. So how can I design fonts for a lifetime FREE trial?
I creates and designs Digital Branding and Marketing Templates to help female entrepreneurs I designs from scratch even though I uses Clip arts and stock photos to help my designs
Nice, I have tested out templates for a bit but I am in love with fonts too much not to dedicate myself to them.
@@ExtraCreditDesignClub I always wanted to create fonts
18:25 Why did you cut off the X? I don’t see any optical illusions of the X being like that.
with a thin weight and a low contrast it docent look like much cutting the thin stem of the X in more important when the for is more bold and has a greatest contrast between the thicks and thins. mainly I just wanted people to be aware of it as a step in the process. some fonts might not need it (like this one) other will look real off without it. Good observation.
0:23 I’m going to use the Glyphs 3 software for my geometric sans serif font.
I hate to admit it.. I really do. it's almost embarrassing to say it.. this was useful. thanks!
Wow I'm way less stressed about font licensing now! Thank you so much for this and for creating cool affordable fonts with simple terms of use. I appreciate you!!
thanks, I do what I can. being a designer myself it helps to understand the pain points of most designers.
First time here on the channel. I loved your content. It seemed you were talked with a friend at a café. It is so honest. This kind of business is something I'm considering for a long time but I never went deep in to the subject. I've been struggling with burnout and impostor syndrome and if I could really start doing that would help me. I'm tired of giving my blood to help others achieve their dreams while feeling that I can be laid off anytime because I'm not part of their equation anymore. But of course there is the other side of the coin: it's all on you. Thank you so much for this. You've got a subscriber!
Hey, Glad to hear the content resonated. and thanks for the support LMK how things go for you.
@@ExtraCreditDesignClub Thank you! I wish you happiness!
Very appriciate the video! Would be amazing to see one about selling mockups in 2024! Thank you man
Im not really in the mockup game so I don't think im qualified to make that video. For sure that would be one I want to see as well. Maybe I should consider a collaboration.
You spoke to my creative little soul at around the 16:55 mark! 🙌
it's the eternal creative struggle.
The dream might become a reality! Thank you mate, this is so informative!
How the quality of the phone when making or receiving calls?
it is not as good as the I phone but it does the job. it sounds more like phones from like 2014 maybe. Not totally sure. the audio quality is a bit more digital sounding but still good.
@@ExtraCreditDesignClub thank you for your response 😁
🙏 P R O M O S M
1:08:08 For my sans serif font, I’m going to design it a double story a, not the single story that you just did.
double story a I sone of the tricks letters form me. you can do it in a variety of ways. I have seen people using the s flipped as the bowl and shoulder. I have seen people flip the n and go from there. Look at a bunch of different sans and see what will work in the context of your font. good luck
So I have to take away the left horizontal line of the lowercase n?
@@JameeiChowdhury1174 copy the n then flip it horizontally then delete the bottom stem on the left after the shoulder curve. then work it form there. I hoe that makes sense. Really there is no wrong way to go about it whatever gets it done. it takes a lot of working to make the a look good.
My sans serif font is a geometric sans serif. For example: Avenir Next is a geometric sans serif font, It has a double story “a” instead of single story a, So mine’s has a double story a.
Great video. I also switched. The Light phone 2, the boox Palma and the Remarkable 2 are my daily drivers. I love how it slowed down my life. How it, like yours, changed my mindset, my time and creativity.
Hi thank you for this video!! I would like to learn more about designing for myself, I'm having trouble deciding my own image, like how did you choose a rabbit? I'm my worst client!
I did this 5 footed Rabit as a logo concept for someone a long time ago but they didn't end up using it. I really liked it so I have just held onto it for the right project. it's kinda odd kinda extra.
Thx. Really useful. Love the way you explained this: do-problem-fix approach is really helpful aid to understanding.
Bought a Light phone about a month ago, but have put off switching over. Just didn't know if I could really do it. This video convinced me. My favorite time in life was the early 2000s when I had access to the internet on my computer at home, occasionally out in the world if I brought my computer with or if I ducked into a library computer lab, my music was on physical media (CD, vinyl), and I wrote on paper. I was more present, more creative, less distracted, and I didn't feel compelled to do work for social media companies by coming up with creative content I would give them for free and would drain me of the instinct to work on bigger creative projects. I do love my music library on Apple Music, listening to audiobooks I download from the library, and occasional podcasts. But, I think I can figure out ways to keep those in my life without having to carry such an incredibly powerful distraction weapon in my pocket. We'll see. Thanks for sharing.
Music for me is the biggest thing about not having a phone for sure. I work from home and am on a computer all day but when I am driving around the radio just doesn't cut it haha. LMK what you come up with.
When you sell your fonts, is this a one-time charge, such as you sell it once to that person and no one else can use it?
@@ExtraCreditDesignClub thank you so much for answering 😀
It’s a profitable business in 2024 to start your Foundry? Thanks for your effort!
Thank you for a wonderful video! I am not a creative person really. However, I analyze a lot of things both for work and for hobbies. I believe that analyzing and problem solving are shared with creative types as you just outlined, I never realized that. I figured artists and creative types just sat down and boom it happens but it’s a process just like I have. This is really getting me thinking about ditching this shiny precious screen. Thanks for the perspective. It is appreciated
