Glyphs Magic Day (with Variable Fonts)
Friday 6 July
Duration: 9am—6pm
Learn how to create Variable Fonts with Glyphs. Glyphs core team Georg Seifert and Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer will hold a Variable Font Day at TypeParis. A unique chance for all local type designers to be able to learn all the unique features of their fantastic tool.
Topics:
- create a variable font from scratch
- convert an existing Multiple Master setup into a Variable Font
- prepare outlines for glyph variations
- trace down and fix errors, avoid potential pitfalls
- optional settings (custom parameters)
- useful scripts and plug-ins for the workflow
- export and test in AI and web browsers
- animate a glyph in a web browser (the fun part!)
You will be taken through a Variable Font workflow, with ample opportunity for questions and feedback. The first part will focus on Variable Font. As the focus will be Variable Font, Multiple Master technology, interpolation, and all the small details who makes the difference. On the part two, more general topics about Glyphs will be addressed. A very good opportunity to meet the Glyphs core team and share your suggestions, and questions about font design, production.
