This course is divided in two parts. One about designing fonts and other about choosing fonts.
Design Your Own Fonts: From Paper to Screen
To design a font might look like an overwhelmingly tedious and extremely difficult task, and in a way it is. No magic bullets here. However there are ways to speed up the process as well as to make it fun!
In this class the Type Designer Natanael Gama will teach you how to create your own fonts without going nuts. From paper sketching all the way to export the digital font file. The only thing required for this class is a bit of courage. Remember that the bigger the challenge the bigger the reward. To type your own font can be an epiphanic experience!

Honestly? The worst purchase on Udemy I ever made. I wouldn't even call it a course- it's a bunch of TikTok like videos showing screen recording of the "teacher" doing something fast without too much explanation. There is no resources, explanations are vague and lacking of any real value. I believe Udemy should ban such pseudo- courses. I would summarize content like that: Buy a Glyphs and try to follow my rapid videos (if you can) and listen to my background music. At this moment I want my money and wasted time back.

This course is more like "watch me work" than a learning experience. Could've done better if there was no paid, mac only software involved with some clear explanations on the technical aspect of font designing like fundamentals related to serif, sans, monospace, ligatures, file formats, etc.

Great course! I'm a designer who always wanted to know how professionals create their fonts. I had an idea but I wanted to confirm the step-by-step and I'm pretty happy because the classes meets my expectations. I don't have Glyphs but you can do everything through illustrator if you are advanced with the pen tool.
