Some Final Thoughts

What You Will Learn?

  • If you're like me, you've wanted to make your own typeface based on your own handwriting, but where do you even begin? Aside from writing letters on a page, what turns your marks into a functional, digital typeface, and how long will that take? And how much is it going to cost?.
  • Fast Fonts is a full-featured course that will show you the technical aspects of creating fonts from scratch, and give you a unique perspective on typography delivered in a way that's fun and easy to follow..
  • What You'll Learn:.
  • At the end of this course, you'll have a better understanding of how fonts are made, what rules to follow and which to break, and you'll walk away with at least one fully-functional font to use yourself or share with others..
