Design Your Own Fonts. Plus A Bunch Of Typography Secrets. (Udemy.com)

This course is more like "watch me work" than a learning experience. Could've done better if there was no paid, mac only software involved with some clear explanations on the technical aspect of font designing like fundamentals related to serif, sans, monospace, ligatures, file formats, etc.

Great course! I'm a designer who always wanted to know how professionals create their fonts. I had an idea but I wanted to confirm the step-by-step and I'm pretty happy because the classes meets my expectations. I don't have Glyphs but you can do everything through illustrator if you are advanced with the pen tool.

So great to hear Natanael's take on type design & selection. While efficient in his presentation, I do crave more! It would be great to hear him talk about why/how he evolved Exo into Exo 2.0, for instance. Some additional Glyphs (and similar FontLab) techniques would be helpful. Also, more time spent on the difference between designing a typeface for print vs. screen would have been great. Overall, fantastic!

You won't lose your time here, but I give 4 stars because it was to fast, to much of skipping and "jumping". It will be nice to know the good alternative programs for creating a personal font not only on MAC but on Windows as well. There is a huge gap in understanding a program (unfortunetly it wasn't explained). Anyway It was super interesting and i hope to see this cours more completed and updated. Thank you

I was just watching the author doing his sketch, not wanting to missing any of his advice. Those parts can be sped up. When talking about concepts (hinting, kerning, etc) it will be helpful to type out those words on the screen so that viewer does not have to rewind to listen carefully and google it. Question: is there a standard list of characters strings that is used to test for legibility, kerning etc?

More explanation and time needed on the Glyps software features and tools. I'm a beginner with the software..

Likable guy and interesting to look at his workflow. Unfortunately he breezes over a lot of tools and functions in Glyphs. So it works better as an overview of the process, but not so well as a tutorial on the Glyphs software.

I am unfamiliar with the font-making software that was used, so that was hard to follow from the start. However, it may be a software I should look into more in order to create fonts and letters. However, there was helpful material to keep in mind when considering fonts and usage, kerning and spacing, consistency, etc.

I think this is an excellent course. I have used the 'Glyphs' software before, and that makes this course easier to follow, but the principles given are applicable to any software. There is a lot of unexplained editing that goes on but just watching the screen and letter development teaches a lot. Overall, very worthwhile I believe.

LOVE this course! I was worried it would be either too basic or jump straight into things I didn't understand, but he's so clear and easy to follow. So glad I found this course! :)
