I made my first typeface in Adobe Illustrator! Here's what some of the 70+ characters I made look like:
These characters are all vector-based images that were left over from a logo design I did (I got carried away!) and I wanted to put the typeface in my portfolio.
However, while I have experience working with typography I have never actually made a typeface before ... like, gone from drawing a thing on a screen to becoming a file that works in Font Book. So, where do I start?
Also, I'm not looking to make any money selling this (it's mostly for my portfolio), but I am worried about someone taking credit for my idea. Do I have to copyright something like this? Is typeface theft a thing I should even worry about?
Anyone willing to hold my hand through this learning adventure will be most appreciated!
