In our branding projects, we use Glyphs for designing logos. Now, manoeuvring curves in AI is akin to riding a unicycle with a cramped right leg — wobbly and accident-prone. In Glyphs, the experience is steady and foolproof, like riding a mountain bike with grippy handlebars.

Glyphs is built with the needs of type designers in mind, allowing you to focus on the design itself. It is great news for CJK type designers.

The only problem with Glyphs is that I forget to take a break. My optician hates it.

The support you get from the Glyphs team is worth waaay more than the license price. Every now and then I catch myself wishing they release a new version soon so I can throw more money at them.

Glyphs development environment has kept me healthier… I no longer need as many espressos to accomplish complex tasks, nor do I experience heart-breaking crashes that kills hours of work. I’d recommend you start with it.

I’ve seen a lot of font software, none of them is perfect. I must admit that Glyphs is by far the best, and its little flaws make its charm.

I cannot imagine my professional life without Glyphs. It is an exceptionally high-quality tool for work and play. I am grateful to the talented and dedicated team behind Glyphs, who work tirelessly on perfecting the app and supporting its users.

It doesn’t make sense to design Arabic in anything but Glyphs. I like showing people who don’t use it how much simpler their lives can be.

Glyphs is a fantastic program. I went through several years where other software ground me down, and switching to Glyphs reignited my passion for type.

Everything about that Devanagari workflow, like the automatic ikar-length substitution: thank you for this! Before switching to Glyphs, I used to spend a week organizing things by width and creating huge tables of different variations of total string width. Ugh!
