Typography Software

• cannonball1978

  Hey all,

  I'm making a science fiction magazine site and looking into authoring my own typefaces for it.

  I'm looking at learning how to use Glyphs. Anyone heard of this or use it?

  https://glyphsapp.com/buy

  Also wondering if anyone sees any benefit of regular Glyphs over Glyphs mini?

  Thanks!

  • Glyphs for more detail and Fontself for smaller things.

  I use Glyphs, I bought the pro one because I wanted to make variable fonts. You should be fine starting on the mini version, then if you need a feature, upgrade.
  Robofont is the other pro one, a little more expensive but also seems good.
