  I think ideaist is on the right track however...

  I believe (and I think most type designers will agree) that going straight to the computer is not the best way. Start with grid PAPER and begin to sketch letterforms with a pen and pencil. This may not give you most uniform letterforms to begin with but it will help you greatly understand letterforms and how they are constructed.

  From there you can always move into the digital realm.
