- Learn how to customize fonts inside Adobe Illustrator :)
Check out my Photoshop and Illustrator kits! 🦄 bit.ly/3aWqZpF
This video goes over a method for customizing and refining fonts in order to personalize them a bit more to you and your style.
This video is a little bit long, but it covers a diverse amount of Illustrator tips ranging from using layers, brushes, the pen tool, and general theories for how to approach customizing type. I did my best not to skip over how to specifically do anything in order to make this fairly beginner friendly. I do suggest watching the below pen tool tutorials before doing this video if you are unfamiliar with the pen tool.

The tutorial also covers ways inside Adobe Illustrator to tweak and refine free fonts that are often a little bit rough and need some extra attention. When quality fonts are available for free, often times they are used quite a lot and as such can make any project that picks them feel a little bit generic. This method is a great way to get around that by allowing you to take some stylistic control over what the final result will look like.

Matt, aside from your talent, which you have immense quantities of, your didactic approach is excellent - clear, concise, and you don't assume anything, or take for granted your audience's skill level - it is a joy watching and learning from your tutorials -- please keep them coming my friend.

Maybe you can put in the title that this is for beginners since you explain things like what the difference is between a fill and a stroke box. Just a suggestion.

Omg Dude I LOVE YOU. you saved me
Love your videos million thanks !!!!
Thank you :)
Such a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing so detailed insight!
Would have love to seen how you made that T! Is there another video where you show that?
The process should be pretty much the same as the rest of what I showed. Just work with the original letter and then figure out ways to extend or adapt the overall flow. I tend to sketch using a brush first, and then once I think it's in a good spot, I move onto using the pen tool to create the "final" look.
Thanks Bruu
Awesome!
Thank you!! Perfect for what I needed. #subscribingnow
When making a logo with a font, is it 100% necessary to customize the font and make additions to it? Is it necessary to make it different so that when someone else downloads the font, they can't immediately type out what you designed?
Nice video, but how do I remove the snapping on the pen tool, It's really annoying.
When I right click on the font the "create outline" is grayed out? What did I do wrong?
Thank you! this video actually helped me. You do need to work on your explanation/rambling a bit because it can get confusing to some people. Other than that nice job
Haha I kinda liked the rambling. Prob bc I ramble too >_
Phenomenal!
Thanks Candace!
You're a great teacher! I mean!!!
Thank you!
Thank you! What settings do you use for the brush tool to make smoothing more effective? It seems my smooth tool is not working as well as yours.
I could swear I responded to this, but I guess not! So I don't remember messing with the actual smooth tool settings much, but it does care a whole lot about how long your smooth path is when drawing it out. So try using it over shorter sections, or longer sections if that doesn't work. Usually smaller sections tended to work better for me, unless I was trying to smooth out really long curves.
what if you want to change the word from customize to something elsel?
I watched your previous tutorial on how to slice letters and it was very helpful. However, when I use those sliced letters on a dark background, the edges look ... kind of jagged it looks good on white background . This actually happens to me with every text object made in illustrator. I attempted to use the smooth tool but then the font looses its style. What could I be doing wrong? (when I'm exporting for web it looks just fine :( )
What you're seeing is called aliasing. Make sure when you're viewing it in whatever program, you're viewing it at 100%. If you view it smaller or larger, those jagged lines may appear as the program is having difficulties rendering it to scale. The important thing (which seems to be working for you), is that when you export it looks clean at the needed size.
Thank you for your prompt response, the issue is when I upload the end result to a website. You can see the footer on 1981dev.us thanks
may have to go another route.
I know you really know what you are doing but I tend to get lost with your instruction. You start to explain one thing the jump to another. I have a difficult time following you. I have added my own customization to a font that I want to "merge" in to a custom font, but I can't seem to get those steps right. I get my design looking great then I can find a way to combine what I have done with the original font. UGH!
Sometimes I have seen font creators upset if you customize their fonts, even if they offer them to you for free. Have you experienced this? Not sure if they think someone will customize and use in a new font they create themselves?
I think once you do anything that is commercial in use it's smart to read the license over and make sure it's all good. The specific situation you describe tends to be prescribed by larger font foundries who want to maintain strict control over their fonts and their associated appearances.
You're definitely right that people will re-mix fonts and then re-sell them as their own. Licensing issues like that are slippery and difficult to nail down as I'm not an IP lawyer (hurray for that!), but air on the side of caution when in doubt.
Since I purchased the font I think I have a total right to use it as I want, regardless of their opinion on that.
At the minute 16:58 i realised you should be a singer! lol
I have a headache now.
Qué larga que la haces, amigo
plssssss add music in the background
get to the point too much in btwn talking
Title not good for the video, wanted to edit font not expand a font and edit it.
Too fast......
