Experienced Canadian type designer Kevin King, of Canada Type fame, will give a multipart, five-week type design workshop with Glyphs in Toronto. This is a unique chance to get started in type design, or finally reactivate that type project you had started years ago but never got around to finish. The Workshop will take place in the beautiful historic Coach House Press building, and you will even have the chance to create a letterpress specimen of your typeface!

The course will begin with students learning and exploring the fundamentals of Roman calligraphy to understand the calligraphic stroke in the making letterforms, and to generate their own unique typeface ideas. Students will then learn and use the Glyphs software to draw, space, kern, and output their font files. Students will then create a specimen piece of their choosing to demonstrate their font design in use.

The workshop will consist of interactive lectures and demonstrations of calligraphy, hand-lettering, and the Glyphs software. No previous knowledge or experience in calligraphy or font design is required. Participants will explore calligraphy and hand-lettering to understand the creation of letterforms, and will be encouraged to explore different styles that appeal to them. Students will walk away from the course with a strong understanding of the Glyphs software and of professional OpenType fonts.

¡Hola! Glyphs team member Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer will host two introductory Glyphs workshops at 7CIT a.k.a. 7º Congreso Internacional de Tipografía in the beautiful Spanish city of Valencia. If you are around, don’t miss it.

We are getting back to the roots this summer. The 30th workshop challenges us to take a look back in the year 1997, when everything enthusiastically began and turned into Tipo Brda by the time. We will do some research and experiments in letterforms as we did in our early days. Welcome all of you who want to design a type your way. You will be given all the support by experienced mentors prof. Lucijan Bratuš (ALUO) and assist. prof. Domen Fras (NTF). So take a challenge and join us to explore the type design at the most diverse methods you can imagine.

Participants can purchase a full Glyphs license at a discount.

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.

Do you want to create your own a typeface?

Whether you're a beginner or you already have an advanced type project, Love Letters invites you to participate to its typeface design workshop. During this workshop, you will analyse the principles of letter drawing based on classical and contemporary models and gain the fundamentals of the construction of letter-forms. Based on the needs of your personal project, special attention will be given to digital type design specifics such as vectorization, Bezier curves, letter spacing, kerning, interpolation and workflow. By the end of the workshop you will have made your own typeface!

Participants will receive an extended trial license for Glyphs, and can purchase a full license at a discount.

In recent years the demands for typefaces covering multiple world languages and scripts have been rising dramatically. To provide designers with an opportunity to explore these unfamiliar territories, Typeworks conceived a series of type design workshops on a variety of world scripts. The first workshop will be held between August 22 and 27 in Bern, Switzerland and lead by type designer David Březina.

Devanagari Workshop

  600 CHF for professionals,
  300 CHF for students

• For whom?

  The workshop is aimed at designers who already have completed some Latin typefaces (basic character set is sufficient).

• Prerequisites

  Bring your own sketchbook, writing tools, and MacBook with a modern font editor such as Glyphs or RoboFont.

• Links

  Typeworks

The workshop will consist of a mix of lectures, independent work, and feedback sessions. Participants will work on the basic Devanagari letters to form an extension of their own typefaces. They will understand the mechanics of this beautiful, yet challenging syllabic script and their implications for typeface design. Part of the workshop will be dedicated to an overview of a Devanagari font production.

While it is nearly impossible to design a working Devanagari typeface in one week, participants should learn the most difficult bit. That is: how to start, how to appreciate design of an unfamiliar script, how to get oriented, and how to critically approach their process in order to arrive at a sensitive interpretation of a script. Together with an overview of the sheer scope of the Devanagari-script design and all its aspects, it should provide them with a solid foundation to continue independent work and further exploration with this or other scripts.

Glyphs is happy to be a TypeCon sponsor this year! Team members Georg Seifert and Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer will be present and available for answering all your questions. As long as they are Glyphs-related, that is.

And, as every year, we will be hosting a workshop. But this time, we have something truly special and geeky for you: a Python workshop! A quick script can save you a lot of time and increase the quality especially of complex projects. And, it actually is fun. Plus, there is a chance for a dedicated Glyphs feature discussion with the Glyphs developer Georg! For details, see below.

See you at TypeCon!

Clocking in at 206 pages, the latest version of the Glyphs handbook is ready for download on the Get Started page. Covering also the latest additions of the upcoming 2.3.1, the newest edition of the handbook is the most complete resource for the application ever. Pay special attention to the updated Custom Parameters section in the Appendix.

Go beyond choosing the same fonts from the type menu to creating your own typefaces. In this class you will learn the basics of designing and generating a typeface with Adobe Illustrator and the font-design software Glyphs (Mac only).

In the morning session we will learn the basics of drawing a font, generate the font, and use it in InDesign. In the afternoon, we will add additional letters to the font, learning how to kern them, add diacritics, and produce the combined letters. At the end of the day, we will not have a finished font, but a respectable start.

Glyphs is a proud sponsor of Dynamic Font Day 2016, the successor of webfontday. And Glyphs team member Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer will deliver his infamous Font Gamification presentation, for the first time on stage together with Lisa Schultz.
