Beginner Mini Workshop: My First Font
- Exclusive workshop for attendees with a General Pass or Limited Pass.
- Although Rainer speaks English, this workshop will be conducted primarily in Spanish.
Go beyond your default fonts and create your own: Welcome to this fast, fun, and intensive course on type design!
In this 5-hour class (including breaks), you will learn the basics of drawing a font, generating it, and using it in an Adobe application or a web browser. We will add additional letters to the font, learn how to space them, add diacritics and punctuation. We will also add a bold version, create a variable font, and animate it in a web browser.
By the end of the class, you won’t have a finished font, but a respectable start and a deep understanding of how fonts are made. And maybe you'll become a type design addict. You've been warned.
Requirements: Bring your MacBook with Glyphs 3. Free trial licenses available.
