How do I create a font?

I've always wanted to design my own font (typeface!), and the last two days I had been wondering what software to use, and just now StumbleUpon has led me to this great article. It explains it all.

I've actually done a kind of designer type that I use on whiteboards when I'm teaching my computer labs. I'll try and get some photos and post them to get your feedback.

If you are a new or highly skilled font designer or foundry, drop me your best tips or favourite software!

Back up and running

Well Hellooooo everyone! Turns out I still have a blog after all. And this is it! I had a post from back in 2010 that I was moving articles from here to my domain (at the time), but I'm taking some time now to use the Internet Archive (the Way Back Machine) to retract the articles lost to the progress of time. That way there will be some useful info here when you get here! As always, follow me at on Twitter  @typegeek where I still post and I can also be found on Instagram as  @designtypegeek. Cheers and enjoy the upcoming weekend! -Rick
