PLEASE could you do a tutorial on how you achieved both the texture and engraving effect on your Target artwork? It’s so beautiful!

[grady]

Absolutely cool app. Just started using it. Thank you!

[KatieCannonDesigns]

Thank you so much for this in-depth tutorial. I have already made a few fonts with this app but didn’t know all the of the different shortcuts that you shared.

This video couldn’t come at a better time! I am struggling with my lettering, not happy with how it looks. I thought about using fonts instead, but I really want to use my own letters. It’s crazy because I already have this app on my IPad for a very long time, but forgot all about it. Thanks (again!), Aurelie, for the inspiration and tutorial!

So keen to try the app version! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Aurelie 💗

Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial ❤️ I really needed this

Great overview of Font Self, thank you! I have already used it a bit and one thing that I have a question about is whether you have a technique for making upper and lower case script/cursive letters connect nicely together?

Your accent is quite good, but I can easily recognize your french ! ;)

Hey Aurelie! I wondered which program you'd prioritize as a beginner, Fontself or Callighr?

[backtoskullart]

Looks perfect <3 Like a Procreate for fonts :D Sadly it's not available in my country (Poland) right now. :(

Can i import svg file from Adobe Illustrator?

[nerueru]

Hi! I made a font but it looks blurry when I try it out in Procreate 😭 any advice?

[icarusx]

What do you use to record yourself? Is it like a phone with a clamp mount or an actual camera? It's perfect for a pov video.

[JulieWhiteside]

Can the font be imported into Microsoft Word?

[bloomwiththestars]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your font is beautiful! I'm finding that it's asking me to pay to export the font. Perhaps this is a new phase of the app or was there a way you were able to get around it? It's asking for a one-time charge of $14.99 (USD) when I click 'Export Font File.'

Hi Aurelie, I'm looking to create my own font and eventually sell it. I see there are so many font making apps. Which one do you recommend? Thanks!
