This tutorial, however, will start from a more common scenario. So, it could be the only tool you need to create a whole typeface from start to finish. Glyphr Studio provides a large set of custom-designed vector editing tools for typeface design. Glyphr Studio was born it's focus is to make it easy for first-time typeface designers or hobbyists to create font files. Since I couldn't find an affordable typeface design tool for Windows, I did what any Interaction Designer / JavaScript aficionado would do - I set out to create my own typeface design tool that was web-based. Since that time FontForge is now available on all platforms - if you are looking for an advanced typeface designer that is free and open source, I whole-heartedly recommend it!Ģ010 was also around the time that HTML5 Canvas started to become (somewhat) available. and all the other options were quite expensive. After a little investigation I discovered that there was no free / open source typeface designer for Windows. Way back in 2010 I started to have an interest in crating my own font.
