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
I always wanted to make a font. With this tutorial you just killed the fear of it. So thank you for the tutorial
Been watching a few type design tutorials and just wanted to say I appreciate your channel, brotha. Cheers!
Amazing Video! Super clear and helpful!
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
amazing, i got started in minutes, thanks for doing this!
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!
This is super helpful! Thanks for making this.
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.
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.
Great tut dude. I didn't need much convincing, but definitely going to get Glyphs Mini now
Nice tutorial. Informative yet casual.
love the inside of your room
That was really helpful.
This is an incredible process! Thank you so much!!
Awesome tutorial! Can't wait for the next one :)
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.
Hey Tyler! Thanks heaps for the video.
I notice glyph mini 2 only offers 3 punctuations. How do I add and new punctuation glyphs?
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.
Thank you
This was very helpful. Thanks a million, TF.
You're welcome, good luck, it's fun stuff!
Thank you Tyler. You are awesome!
thank you!
Hell yeah, Tyler! Keep it up
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.
this is a good tutorial! thanks!
Thank you Ty!
Ah man this was so good !!
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
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.
This is COOL!!!
Yeah, making fonts is kind of mind blowing!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial! It helped me heeeaaaps .
Can I copy from adobe illustrator vector into glyphs mini 2?
Yes you can!
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 :)
thank you! you are awesome
PERFECT tutorial - thnx XD
This would of taken me days.
thaaaanks!!!
Thanks dude!
Only for Mac? ((
A bummer, I know. Will experiment with FontLab, which isn't cheap, but has a free trial!
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!
