I hope you guys enjoy the video! Vectornator is free on all Apple platforms so go get it now. This font process is a basic rundown, so if you would like to see more videos and tutorials about font making let me know in the comments!

[@robertfusiek3546]

Hey Will, you’re videos have helped me out for months! Keep up the amazing work, if possible though, can you either in the description or beginning of the video just show your canvas size/setup? I’ve followed a couple videos and sometimes it comes out all pixelated

[@GrantNeufeld]

Could you add links for the font tools you mentioned, too, please?

[@neetabudhraja]

Would love to learn more for font making.. wanted to learn that since 2017. I made my own letters for a comic strip on adobe illustrator but i couldnt make them as font as i did not know how to use glyphs n font maker.

[@imBlaq]

How about taking us through how to design in font lab

[@MooDiaper]

yes, i love more vdo about font making, please

[@diablohashcraft8040]

I am having a lot of fun with Vectornator. Thanks for posting!

[@nathanprideart]

Super helpful information and thanks for the tips on programs to use. I would definitely enjoy more videos on font making!

[@Monfette]

When you said to keep your shapes separated and you just changed the B to P in 0.05s, I was totally shooked. Thanks for the trick

[@davidpruitt5885]

That was a fun one!! I am currently working on a typeface for a logo so I definitely appreciate the video, brother!

[@Vagabondgone]

Thank you so much for this video. I was just doing a custom logotype for my streetwear brand and this is a very good video to help me vectorise my text and even logo

[@Mrwolfster2]

Thanks will! I was making a typography logo to challenge myself, and it came out rough. I edited but still off, thanks to this I now know what I should try to do.

[@datitingammez]

I wish i had your talent man, vectornator is literally hell for me to use

[@StanIdesis]

This was the best accidental guide for using the pen tool - it’s always puzzled me and your box method 🤦‍♂️🤯

[@neetabudhraja]

Thank u sir.. i was lost with vectornator.. i was not able to figure out how to work on this app.. you made it easier for me.. i will try to make fonts there..

[@adrianiordache3552]

10% actual tutorial 90%...vEctOrnaToR

[@anajvalle]

Thank you so much for such great content!

[@wolfegaming36]

"A lot of people think this could be cheating, and yes it is completely cheating." Lol I love it! Downloading the app to try this out, thanks for the awesome videos! I don't usually comment very often but I love your videos, as I'm just beginning to get more serious about my digital art and design. Thanks!

[@willpatersondesign]

ha! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your comment means a lot :)

[@romwell_id]

Hey Will, love the video mate! I don't have an iPad, regardless still found the video worthwhile! Am wondering if you will do the same using Illustrator or something for computer users?

[@davidpruitt5885]

Awesome man!

[@ReflexRL]

Very helpful!

[@thejavidkarami]

I really enjoyed

[@latonyamiles1193]

I love this! Could you do one with capital letters?

[@muhammadkhalil3935]

*awesome*

[@MStrong95]

Are there any tricks or something to help with making any cursive or connecting glyph fonts

[@harjit8141]

Did you do any tutorial about editing text in illustrtor ...you know making logo type

[@amii162]

Cool

[@ellehoods4822]

Do you need a desktop for the next part? I’m so frustrated seeing creative market with splashes and whatever details.,.. I want to use alternates but it feels like ifont maker is my only option as someone without a desktopx

[@joeysullivan5665]

When initially sketching out your font, how do you make sure the line weight is consistent letter to letter, and even winthin all parts of an individual letter?

[@katkelliher703]

Is there a decent alternative for Android phones/tablets?

[@gobyg-major2057]

U don’t have to copy and paste since u already have the original shape copied in the clipboard...u just paste and move it to the desired spot.....

[@joshbraun7455]

What screen protector is that???

[@adanbanuelos1266]

Nice! Do you have any font making app recommendation for windows???

[@ramonlozano4483]

Adan Banuelos Fontlab 7

[@lukmaanpratomo6866]

Well, for beginners and if you are still trying out the world of font design, plus if you wish to try it for free without investing a lot of money into an app, you could try FontStruct. FontStruct is a browser-based font design tool that lets you create your very first font easily and export it as a True Type (TTF) format. The downside is that it is not as powerful or advanced as FontLab. Fontlab is THE go-to font design software for those who have committed themselves into the world of font design. But the software itself is pretty expensive and the built-in guide section is sometimes not very clear to understand for beginners. Add to that, the amount of tutorials regarding how-to with FontLab in the internet is quite minimal.

[@chtekock]

Hm, i tried the stated Vectornator - Glyphs worklfow, but it didn´t work as expected. A direct copy and past of a traced letter doesn't create paths in Glyps but a pixelimage. Using Illustrator as an intermediate step, the pasted Vectornator-> Illustrator->Glyps paths are ugly with a lot of additional points and duplicates. ( although they looked clean in illustrator ) Traced Affinity Designer paths worked fine... I really like Vectornator. Anyone had success here?

[@Not_silver]

Can't I use illlustrator instead of vectornator?

[@boristubeti6776]

Is Calligraphr any good for this or compete trash compared to this method?

[@dhruvmakwana1998]

Can u make a dedicated video on how to design typeface using glyphs software!

[@mtlreiner]

dhruv makwana Check out the Kevin King tutorials.

[@tere1198]

I have a PC and a tablet. These won't work for me sigh.

[@10minutelogo37]

tnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a lot bro

[@peter486]

how can you work like that

[@Darfaultner]

No Vectomator for PC?

[@PickleNipz]

Everything uses FontSelf I cant afford this

[@bestscenz9376]

To ye direct ap illustrator p q nahi banaya

[@jaquu]

too ipad cengtric, was not mentioned in title

[@dummyemail4617]

What if i make and sell a font to a dozen people and and then i happen to see it all over the Internet few years later. Given that some fonts are very similar and then created to outlines, my question is how can I be sure thats my font and how can I take action of people stealing my fonts. I feel this will be a very long journey clamping everyone down stealing my work.

[@yow448]

what keyboard are u using?

[@willpatersondesign]

Logitech MX Keys! Really nice to use, video coming soon :)

[@daliya6990]

Why is it when i hold it with two finger my whole project is moving around and its fucking impossible to edit the curve🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@daliya6990]

My apple pencil doesn't work if I hold the screen with my fingers I guess it can't do it simultaneously. Wtf? How do I fix this? This is so annoying. It was supposed to be a baseline setting since Will showed it in the tutorial that its done this way then it should be done this way with the baseline setting. But I cant fucking do it. What the fuck?

[@canaldopetros2228]

Android users: 🤡

[@morriskolsky1379]

👎Vectornator caused my iPad to lock up so I won't be using that again. Thank you.
