On the second September weekend, we are back in Paris: meet us for two fun workshops, and become a total star in Glyphs! You can sign up for either workshop, or take part in both. Register before 6 September and save a few bucks.
Participants receive an extended trial license and can purchase their own full license at a discount.
Saturday workshop: AbracadabraGlyphs
Saturday, 11 September 2021
9:00 – 18:00
In this workshop, you will learn to set up and create a variable font in Glyphs. We will draw a few letters and symbols, add an axis or two, and animate them in a web browser. In the afternoon, we will draw a color symbol and make it move as well. You will learn how to draw shapes so that they can be interpolated, how to set up variation axes, how to set up color layers, and how to export and test your font file.

Sunday workshop: Font Nerdery

In this workshop, we will go through an efficient font production workflow for Glyphs. Get to know the best insider tips for setting up your font file, testing your work inside and outside of the app, and for managing paths, components, interpolation, PS hinting, spacing, and kerning. In each topic, we will focus on QA: find even the smallest mistakes, no matter where they are buried in your font file, and correct them efficiently. In the course of the workshop, you will learn how to extend the app functionality with scripts and plug-ins.
