Most artists and designers dive into type design by trying to figure out things by themselves. But as they move forward with their project they start to feel overwhelmed – eventually give up on their typefaces altogether.

You are fascinated by all things letters, and you’re ready to take the next natural step for your creative skills with letterforms. You have started experimenting with font creation, downloaded some software, and attempted to put an alphabet together. But it’s starting to take too long and you’re not even scratching the surface.

The problem with trying to tackle font making on your own is that everything is taking insane amounts of time. You find a roadblock at every single step of the process – a process that you should be enjoying if you want to effectively finish that font, put it out in the world, and make your first mark in type design.

THINGS COULD BE DIFFERENT FOR YOU IF YOU KNEW HOW TO:

• Come up with an idea for a font that stands out from the crowd of typefaces. 
• Use efficient techniques to brainstorm ideas for your font. 
• Learn a streamlined process to turn a few letters into a full-blown alphabet. 
• Spacing and kerning your font in just a few clicks.
• Add punctuation marks, accents, and diacritics the smart way within a time-efficient process.

Here’s what creating your first font would unlock for you:

➸ Gain a deeper understanding of the world of letterforms and become an expert.
➸ The chance to sell your fonts and create a passive income stream for your business. 
➸ You could offer this as part of your services as a designer or artist and land high-budget projects. 
➸ Acquiring a skill that few people in the world have.
