As promised, you can get the file that was made in the process of recording this tutorial from my site: www.tylerfinck...

Been watching a few type design tutorials and just wanted to say I appreciate your channel, brotha. Cheers!
great tutorial! i watched another one that confused me but this one was easy to understand. i'll be downloading the free trial soon yay
Amazing Video! Super clear and helpful!
I always wanted to make a font. With this tutorial you just killed the fear of it. So thank you for the tutorial
Awesome mate, Super Helpful. we need more tutorials from you with such a fresh content.
I've been trying to learn more about doing some kinetic motion typography and came across someone who mentioned using Glyphs to help make your type. It was really refreshing to watch you break down the 'borrowing' that occurs when creating a typeface - brought me back to my typography classes in college. Thanks Tyler.
Thanks Lucas, that's awesome to hear. I wish my college HAD a typography class :p
This was a wonderful instructional video, Tyler. I’m on the 2nd day of the trial and, by the feel of things, I will be picking up the full version at the end.
Thanks for clearing a few things up!
Awesome!
amazing, i got started in minutes, thanks for doing this!
Awesome. Used Fontlab for years so this is really helpful for the switch.
Right on. Yeah I was using Fontlab V before I knew Glyphs existed. Fontlab VI is pretty great though, so I might bounce back and forth between the two.
This is super helpful! Thanks for making this.
Great tut dude. I didn't need much convincing, but definitely going to get Glyphs Mini now
Awesome tutorial! Can't wait for the next one :)
This is an incredible process! Thank you so much!!
Nice tutorial. Informative yet casual.
I like Glyphs. I was a little skeptical when I saw the coach. I thought he was going to light a joint (cannabis). But no, he seems to know his stuff. Like what, appearances are often deceptive. In short, I subscribed because I was really blown away. 😜
I'm looking for a typography software. If you are like me take a look at this url : alternativeto.net/software/fontforge/
So far, it's Glyphs that appeals to me the most.
Hey @@pmeur . I use Glyphs several days a week, and I love it. Fontforge is capable, and free, but a little frustrating once you're used to how easy things are in Glyphs.
@@tyfromtheinternet Hi, I'm sure from what I've seen that Glyphs is the answer to my problem.
zupimages.net/up/20/49/7juk.jpg a lot of fun.
I notice glyph mini 2 only offers 3 punctuations. How do I add and new punctuation glyphs?
love the inside of your room
I use Fontforge when I create custom fonts. I create the characters first on Adobe Illustrator as svg and import on Fontforge
Yeah that's awesome! I haven't had much luck with font forge, but I know people making fonts with that app exclusively and they love it.
That was really helpful.
Hey Tyler! Thanks heaps for the video.
I want to emulate the typeset used in a specific 1930s typewriter. Can I import an image of each letter to develop a font set?
I'm not sure if you can import a raster image, but you can import vectors, for sure. Some people make their letters in Illustrator and simply copy/paste.
This was very helpful. Thanks a million, TF.
You're welcome, good luck, it's fun stuff!
Thank you Tyler. You are awesome!
hey Tyler great vid, could you make a tutorial on FONT HINTING?
Thanks! Autohinting should work fine with glyphs as long as your font is set up well (extreme points, stem values, alignment zones). I follow the Glyphs tutorials and have no complaints glyphsapp.com/tutorials/articles/tag:hinting
@@tyfromtheinternet got it thanks.
Hell yeah, Tyler! Keep it up
thank you!
Thank you
Is there much difference between the regular glyphs and glyphs mini? Other than the obvious huge price difference..
From a general use standpoint (interface, tools available) they are almost identical. BUT, you're limited to ONE master in Glyphs Mini, so if you're looking to make a consistent family with several weights (or widths, italics, etc) with multiple masters, you'll need the full version. Glyphs mini is absolutely worth it though.
Your file can't be downloaded anymore on your website. Any chance you can share?
Oh thanks for letting me know! I changed hosting and probably never updated it. I'm not sure I'll be able to find it, but here's a recent variable font I've made where the source file is available: github.com/sursly/sono
this is a good tutorial! thanks!
Can I copy from adobe illustrator vector into glyphs mini 2?
Yes you can!
Ah man this was so good !!
This is COOL!!!
Yeah, making fonts is kind of mind blowing!
thank you! you are awesome
Thank you Ty!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial! It helped me heeeaaaps .
Hey Tyler - this is awesome. I definitely chuckled when I saw "Disk space is almost full". Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to try Glyphs Mini 2, do you have an affiliate link?
HEY! No affiliate link, but the trial is free, so hit that first!
very helpful :)
This would of taken me days.
Only for Mac? ((
A bummer, I know. Will experiment with FontLab, which isn't cheap, but has a free trial!
PERFECT tutorial - thnx XD
Thanks dude!
thaaaanks!!!
OMG, If you believe in God, God bless you... Sending you all the best wishes, thank you SO much!
got something better then fontforge and glyphs. Glyphr is free and lets you to copy and paste from illustrator
Thank you!
