There's an episode of the Netflix docu series "Abstract" about Jonathan Hoefler and his process for Typeface Design (season 2 last episode) and it's suuuuper interesting, it also goes over some of the points you do in your video. Great content! V useful. Also the font looks great!
this series and this episode is really awesome. In design school I watched that on my own time and it really fueled my interest for typography in class
Thanks for sharing the process with us Charli. Your font came out really nice! Teela’s font-making course has been on one of my back burners for a couple of years now. Congrats on finishing and launching!
Thank you so much, i thought about developing my font further and have been looking for such video, you cover everything and explained things to tackle on the journey of creating a font, thank you so much for this❤❤❤
Extremely interesting and informative. Found you by chance. The font looks great. Also really appreciate that you don't have ads in your videos. Great option to go with Patreon instead. All the best.
I like to find fonts on creative market - but i purchase from the designers website usually. As a designer and graphic artist I usually. Recommend this to clients as well.
That’s so funny, I also purchased Teela’s font course in 2017 as well and I’m just now finally getting around to making it! I’m only at the beginning though.
Yay! So happy to see you post about the font making process, I'm in the middle of making my first one as well? An elegant serif font. I'm using Fontself Maker which I think is much cheaper and easier to use (Glyphs looks a little bit scary haha). It's basically a plugin for either Illustrator or Photoshop. I was able to get both for a bundle price awhile back, super worth it especially to dabble in my first font. Really hope you make a script font next!
Great job on making your first font! I find myself much more interested in how you built a list where you made 45 sales in the span of 5 days. How did you do that?
I'm considering taking Teela's course. I have no design background at all so was wondering about how many hours total do you think it took to complete your font. Thank you for sharing.
What would be the appropriate approach towards your customers that purchased your fonts earlier and now you are after releasing an update with more glyphs?
Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why you chose Astropad instead of Sidecar (Apple's 'official' solution?) Also great work and thanks for all the videos!
Hi Charli, idk it will be read or not, but i hope you read it.. i have some questions related the topic you shared here: 1. If i didn't get license for my font, then i sell it, how it will be effected to me and my font? 2. What board size for procreate to create font?
a license isn't something you 'get' for something you design yourself. it's something you create! You can find license templates online to document what kind of usage you're allowing with your product. If you don't consider what usage you'll allow, you're selling yourself short and leaving a lot of money on the table! board size in procreate doesn't matter at all. you're going to be creating vectors in illustrator later anyway. the bigger the better i'd say 🤷🏻♀️
Hey Hi there, recently started following you and so amazed by your work. Just seen one of your video on Design System in Figma solike can you make a video on whole process of creating or could you share the resources. Love from Nepal :)
Awesome! If you didn't already watched, I will recommend you the Abstract episode with Johnatan Hoefler on Netflix, he is a typography designer. I understood all the work that need to be put to create a new font
@CharliMarieTV, is there any chance I could hire you to make a font for me? You can sell it afterwards provided I can use it. It's an engineering type text that a friend of mine writes in, and I'd like to gift him his own font.
I hate to be that guy but someone has to explain typeface vs font so here goes... Typeface - overall style of lettering where as Font - variation of a font. I.e: bold, italic, regular, Etc. That being said this is awesome. I like your explanations and rationale.
Sadly Glyphs is Mac only. And apparently their reasoning is "type is a Mac only business", which is like saying designing is a Mac only business. Baffling
I’m sure you could find a font software for a different operating system just by googling! :) the software mention was just one small piece of this video
Charli, I know nothing about design or e-commerce but am blown away by the content and presentation of this video. From the (realistic) time scales to the effort and detail that goes into executing a concept well, your video captures so many nuggets that stimulate thought and further investigation. Thank you and best wishes for your future projects.
I also took Teela’s class! I took the PC version, but just bought a Mac so now I’m going to be learning Glyphs. I just listed my first font on my website yesterday and can’t wait to make my next.
Efficient explanation of your font creation 🔥👌🏽! Even though it took time to create it. Do you think is a must to get glyph to produce fonts? I would like one day, if you could to explain the confusion of licensing about fonts. By video or your podcast "design for life" , by the way, it's great! I wish I discovered much earlier on and not this week. Good luck! 🙏🏽
theres lots of different software to create fonts! I just chose Glyphs because it's what the course instructor uses. How can I help with font licensing? What's confusing you? let me know and I can try to explain!
The terms of using them. For instance, 100% free, free por personal use, for comercial or business propurses (social media counts as business or personal use). What if a designer buy a font. Can she/he allows to their clients to use them? Or it's only use for the designer? Or it is the clients that they have to buy the font? At the moment, I am researching on that. Simply I am confusing, in case anyone can be penalise, have issues or get in some kind of trouble. I don't know like Shepherd Fairey with his "Hope" campaign to put an example of trouble. Thank Charlie! 🙏🏽
What if i make and sell a font to a dozen people and and then i happen to see it all over the Internet few years later. Given that some fonts are very similar and then created to outlines, my question is how can I be sure thats my font and how can I take action of people stealing my fonts. I feel this will be a very long journey clamping everyone down stealing my work.
@@charlimarieTV oh for sure I won't stop. Do you have any insight if for example, someone used a glyph or two letters joined/stylised together which you know you created and haven't seen it elshwere on any other font. How would you tackle that? The end user coukd typically say that they made it and it just so happen to match my style lol

Inspiring! Thank you so much for showing us all the steps, the whole process sounded so cool (and rewarding) and the result even cooler!
thanks for watching Maria!

I hope this video gives you the motivation to get back into the course and finish your own font Karen! I'd love to see it! :D
Thank you so much, i thought about developing my font further and have been looking for such video, you cover everything and explained things to tackle on the journey of creating a font, thank you so much for this❤❤❤
Never knew it took so long to create a font but it paid off. Great font and super video!

nice! looking forward to seeing your finished font!
I do calligraphy so this will be my grind for late 2020. Thank you!
Great job on making your first font!
I find myself much more interested in how you built a list where you made 45 sales in the span of 5 days.
How did you do that?
I would love to try, thank you for sharing

Loved this! You should make a video showing your favorite fonts/fonts designers ✨
Great idea! I did a video like that yeeeeeeears ago it'd be fun to make an update :)
I’d love a video on that topic too.
Thanks for the wonderful video from Japan
Hi Charli! Any quick tips on doing a font for non-English? (Using an alphabet that doesn't have r, u, p, q, f, v and has more accent marks on vowels)
Super thanks for this insightful video Charlie! Would you be super interesting to get your feedback on the Fontself iPad app :)
Thank you sm you really explain a lot of things!
What would be the appropriate approach towards your customers that purchased your fonts earlier and now you are after releasing an update with more glyphs?
Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why you chose Astropad instead of Sidecar (Apple's 'official' solution?) Also great work and thanks for all the videos!
no particular reason! I've never even tried out using sidecar tbh. I've been using Astropad for many years before sidecar became a thing
Fantastic Content! Thank You!
Ahhhh, I've been looking forward to watching this video; even made tea!!
Yay! Enjoy your tea :)
@@charlimarieTV Hehe, enjoyed both the tea and the video.
I appreciate all your educational value as a Creative. Yuh not even know.
thanks so much!
this is real art

@@charlimarieTV thank you Charli!
@CharliMarieTV : Great video, Charli. Love your channel. Side note: Your doppelganger is English actress Lily James. You are identical twins!
Hey Hi there, recently started following you and so amazed by your work. Just seen one of your video on Design System in Figma solike can you make a video on whole process of creating or could you share the resources. Love from Nepal :)
Did you check out my pdf guide to cataloging your website and creating a design system from it? charlimarie.com/design-systems
I need to commision simple font. Do you give quotation for the price?
This isn’t a service I offer!
Awesome! If you didn't already watched, I will recommend you the Abstract episode with Johnatan Hoefler on Netflix, he is a typography designer. I understood all the work that need to be put to create a new font
yeah that's a great series!
very interesting miss
I want to sell my handritten fonts ...plzz suggest
How do you install illustrator pc version on your iPad?
I don't! I used Astropad to essentially make my ipad into a graphics tablet (like a Wacom)
@@charlimarieTV Thank you so much :)

You didn’t have to really tho did you! Haha. Even in your explanation you used font the same way I did “variation of a font”.
Sadly Glyphs is Mac only. And apparently their reasoning is "type is a Mac only business", which is like saying designing is a Mac only business. Baffling
Nice lady 😏
wasted time because I don't use a MAC. would have been good to add to the title.
I’m sure you could find a font software for a different operating system just by googling! :) the software mention was just one small piece of this video
there is fontforge free alternative for glyphs
yeah theres lots of other software for making fonts! I just chose Glyphs because it's what the course instructor was using
@@charlimarieTV yeah i know you said that in the video. i was just giving advice for people who may not be able to buy that software🤗
Charli, I know nothing about design or e-commerce but am blown away by the content and presentation of this video. From the (realistic) time scales to the effort and detail that goes into executing a concept well, your video captures so many nuggets that stimulate thought and further investigation. Thank you and best wishes for your future projects.
Charli, you are a very impressive and inspiring designer! Well done and congratulations on your font. Goodness, you are a hard worker.
thanks so much, that's so kind :)
how do you import your fonts that you created in illustrator over to Glyphs?
ironic
Thank you for all the info, Its been helpful working on my fonts, I will be watching this video again!
I also took Teela’s class! I took the PC version, but just bought a Mac so now I’m going to be learning Glyphs. I just listed my first font on my website yesterday and can’t wait to make my next.
Hello,can you say how to check a font which i have created is not done by other,means how to check my font already exists or not?
Thank you Charlie Marie! This is so interesting and I would love to try taking Tesla’s course!
Good video! I hope when you design a script font you will make a a video like this again, telling your experience.
Good wemon
today i saw your 2 years ago video and now i am your fan and subscriber.
OMG YOU'RE SOOOOO ADORABLE :3
Great video miss
Very interesting process. Great work!
Dope!! I’ve wanted to make one for so long!
do it Jason! It was such a fun experience 🙌

Don’t let that hold you back from creating! You can take legal action if you like but it probably wouldn’t be worth it.

Does it make good money? I just wat to know if I will recover all those expensive apps as well classes that I have to take.
it depends! definitely not guaranteed. it's not a 'passive income'. you have to put in the work to sell it.
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching! :)
Nice work!!
thanks!
Thank you Charlie, lots of valuable info that I was looking for!
Figma Is amazing if only you could export animations as gif or MP4 and export fonts
