    Ever since I have switched to Glyphs, I have more time for my family.

    Glyphs has given a boost to font production. It’s like the iPhone. To font designers like me, who have experienced a time when only about 250 characters could be stored, it was a great sensation.

    ‘Finally!’ I said to myself when I first opened Glyphs. The seamless software all veterans were longing for, a trailblazer young guns didn’t see coming. It’s not every day you witness font design redefined.

    Besides working with a quite well-designed app that covers all your needs, you will never have to walk alone again. The Glyphs support team is just the most helpful you could ever wish for.
