Glyphs at BITS 2017
This year’s Bangkok International Typography Symposium will see Glyphs workshops and a stage presentation. Don’t miss it, it’s going to be fun.
Workshop: Start your first Font in Glyphs
In this introduction to Latin type design, attendees will sketch and digitise a lowercase n, then proceed to draw a few letters more. You will also learn how to reuse the shapes you have already drawn for creating diacritic letters, and how to create an alternate letter variant.
Workshop attendees will receive an extended trial license, handouts for continuing their design, and are entitled to a discount for the full version of Glyphs.
