Workshop: Glyphs Secrets
6 July 2019, 9am—6pm
You will be taken through a professional variable font production workflow, with ample opportunity for questions and feedback. During part one, focus will be on drawing vectors and producing fonts in Glyphs: a very good opportunity to meet the Glyphs core team and share your suggestions, and questions about font design and production. Part two will focus on Variable Fonts and reusing shapes: Multiple Master technology, interpolation, and all the small details that truly make a difference.
Topics covered:
- create multiple-master and variable fonts from scratch
- prepare professional vector outlines
- convert an existing Multiple Master setup into a Variable Font
- reuse recurring shapes effectively
- trace down and fix errors, avoid potential pitfalls
- optional settings (custom parameters)
- useful scripts and plug-ins for any workflow
- export and test in AI and web browsers
- animate a glyph in a web browser (the fun part!)
