Glyphs Mini is the little brother of Glyphs 3, at just $49 (there’s a free trial version available) it’s the perfect starting software to create professional single weight fonts. If you’ve worked with Adobe Illustrator before you’ll soon notice that the pen tool in Glyphs is way more advanced and that you can create perfect curves with the tools and settings. No more wondering if your nodes align or that your font doesn’t have all the accents, in Glyphs you can create all possible accents and diacritics (for multiple languages) in a fly. Here at Type Design Class we use Glyphs every day and are looking forward to teach you the basics of it.*
