• SN Pro – a free, open-source font designed for Markdown

  Although we had never designed a font before, we had extensive experience using Figma to create our app's user interface, custom icons, and svgs over the past few years. Recognizing that creating a font from scratch would be a daunting task, we opted to adapt Nunito. To re-design and create our own stamp on the typeface, we chose Glyphs [1], a beautifully crafted and meticulously planned program. Over the course... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Adobe Gives Up on Web-Design Product to Rival Figma After Deal Collapse

  I agree that 150usd might be too cheap for pro market but like I mentioned maybe they found out they need to first go for amateurs. Who knows maybe they will make it more expensive in future or offer some kind of pro option. I also have to mention maybe your expectations are a bit skewed? Software dev got cheaper and not everything has to be breakneck hype venture capital squeeze. There is type design software... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Trying to extract font from an old Gamecube game. Does anyone know if I can convert any of these file types to a font?

  I design fonts in Glyphs, which has a Python API for automating repetitive tasks. My approach would be to write a Python script that parses the .bfn format into a bitmap for each glyph. Then I would iterate through each bitmap and use the Glyphs API to add a pixel component for each pixel in the bitmap, effectively automating the whole process. The result would be a pixel font that can be easily exported to modern... Source: about 2 years ago

• Parametric Font Idea — what do you think?

  I'm not OP, but most type designers consider Glyphs to be the easiest software to learn on. The mini version is only ~$50, and you can upgrade to the full version later on when you're ready to take on the challenge of designing a full font family with multiple masters and variable sliders like the demo OP made.

• Can anyone identify this font? Are there any other fonts similar to it?

  What I will say is that making a font can be difficult work, and requires *a lot* of expertise. For this reason, the only folks who make fonts tend to be graphic designers who specialize in typography. Customers often pay designers thousands of dollars to make a custom font. These designers typically use a program such as 'Glyphs'. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can anyone identify this font? Are there any other fonts similar to it?

  No disrespect, but I don’t think you know what you’re asking for. Creating a typeface is no small task, but if you’re up to it, You might start with Glyphs. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How to become a font designer?

  For starter programs, if you've got a Mac, Glyphs Mini is recommended. If you have Windows, your best bet is High-Logic Font Creator (it's the one I personally use and recommend.) Free ones include Glyphr, Fontstruct and Fontforge. Ultimately, it's what you can work with, but make sure that it allows you to make fonts. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Finally starting to learn how to design and use variable type. Tons of fun!

  The type design piece of this begins in Glyphs. If you're not familiar, Glyphs is a great piece of type design software, very designer-friendly, affordable, and with an active support community. I actually don't do a ton of traditional type design as such, but I use the software a lot for my lettering projects. Source: almost 3 years ago

• A font based on the Leroy Lettering System

  The Glyphs app has become a popular font-making app over the past few years. If you're just getting started Fontself lets you make fonts in Illustrator and Photoshop. Not nearly the fine-tuned control but you can make some cool fonts and it's pretty much instant gratification. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Is the font market too saturated to get into nowadays?

  Most people in the business that I know use Glyphs, and people who want to be a little more hands-on with the coding use RoboFont. Source: about 3 years ago
