    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.

    The Dogs ❤️ Glyphs! It’s a complete package: easy to use, but mighty under the hood – and it comes with great user support (especially at conferences over 🍻)!

    Kai Büschl, Oliver Linke and Katharina Seidl The Lazydogs

    Glyphs’ streamlined interface and its online resources made learning type design straight-forward for my students.

    Jawaher Alali designer and educator

    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.
