Lettering in Glyphs App
Last weekend I recorded a process video of vectoring the attached sketch in Glyphs (which is a type design and font editing program). Before I got into type design, I did all of my vector work in Adobe Illustrator, but as I started experimenting with Glyphs and becoming more comfortable with it, I found myself using it to also vector my lettering. I would say I now use Glyphs for 90% of my lettering work including any logotypes I work on.
I made this video to walk through a bit of my vectoring process in Glyphs, and along the way I point out shortcuts I use, what plugins can help speed up the process, and some general tricks that make me love Glyphs. If you don’t want to watch an entire hour of process, check out the Table of Contents in the video description to skip to sections that pique your interest.
