Make Custom Fonts in Adobe Illustrator with Fontself!

In this video, we’ll learn all about Fontself which is an extension that allows you to convert raw artwork to fonts. You can save these fonts and share them just like any other font that you download online. It’s a very cool tool and something that I think any graphic designer or logo designer would like quite a bit!

I remember being like 12 and discovering different fonts and it was like my dream to make my own. Seeing this makes me so happy now!

Good lord I had been hand-writing, aligning, and spacing every letter and every word. That took forever. Being able to make your own font quickly like this is like a miracle compared to that laborious process. Thank you!

If you use the Image Trace window you can tell it to ignore white during the process and get only the solid black. Just makes it a tad bit easier.

This is gold. I can't use Glyphs on Windows, so this has solved my problem and is much easier as a starter.

You just sold me on this! I did some work for 1C Game Studios. I have to make 130+ WWII RAF Badges (Squadron Emblems). Vectoring out every character for ALL of them was grueling. Now I can take my file and just make it type-able.

[LArgrew]

Ok you sold me on font self. this looks easy

[georgegakere]

Useful to this day for my font project. Thanks again!
