We will start by sketching a letter and digitising it. Then, we will add some letters, export a font, and test it in InDesign. In the afternoon, we will add more letters to the font, space them, optimise them for the screen, but also add diacritics, and produce compound glyphs. At the end of the day, you will have a pretty good start for your first font.

We will start with a monoline (open paths) design in Glyphs, and generate an OpenType font from it. By adding glyph variations, we will make Glyphs auto-generate OpenType features for us. We will expand the mono line to a single-axis Multiple Master set-up, making use of built-in features as well as third-party scripts and plugins.
