This book is different. It shows readers how to design professional fonts – without having to find out all of type design’s secrets first.      Designing Fonts teaches the basics of type design from sketched letters to finished font, offering an uncomplicated but thorough introduction to type design. With easy-to-follow instructions, many examples and professional tips, readers will learn how to design unique typefaces tailor-made for their own projects or customer orders. This book has two parts. Part 1 explains the theoretical, creative and technical basics of type design and font production. Six chapters then cover everything from alphabet to font, showing readers how to find and develop typeface ideas, design matching letters, produce fonts and expand them with special functions. Part 2 comprises eight workshops that explore how to design and implement different kinds of typefaces, from decorative interlocking display fonts with alternative letters to well-developed headline fonts with multiple cuts and OpenType features.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49759518392593,"sku":"NGR9780500241554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50574856945937,"sku":"GOR011415273","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52632185176337,"sku":"CIN0500241554G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52981894873361,"sku":"CIN0500241554VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500241554.jpg?v=1773314142"},{"product_id":"making-fonts-book-chris-campe-9781584237747","title":"Making Fonts","description":"A big fan of our bestselling book \u003ci\u003eWhy Fonts Matter\u003c\/i\u003e?
