How To Make A Custom Font Using Fontself
How to make your own typeface? Have you ever wanted to make your own font? It's hard to make a font and tedious to kern a typeface, or so I thought. That all changed when I found out about Fontself. I gave it a spin. It's fun and highly addictive. If you've ever wanted to design your own font, watch this video tutorial on how to design your own typeface.
What big design agencies have made their own custom fonts? What are all the anatomy terms of a letter? Do you get discouraged by how challenging it can be? In this video Chris teaches you how you can make your own custom font. He also teaches you all the terminology for the anatomy of a letter.
