Step-by-Step Font Design: Craft Elegant Serif Fonts with Glyphs 3 and Corner Components

I get it and it’s much more straightforward than I’d expected. Here I go! Thanks, Adam!

It's been a good while since I uploaded a Glyphs video. I've been busy doing client work and also making Gather Serif - my new "modern, elegant serif".
I hope this helps to get you started with your own serif fonts ✌

You don't need to create the right corner component. You can just flip the left component when you need it. In this way, you don't have to modify two serif components if you have to adjust their design.

Is there an alternative to Glyphs on Windows?
