Draw Your Own Fonts

Nice cover on this one. Fabtastic representation of the subject matter. Good composition and eye catching title work as well.

Anyone that knows me knows I am a bit of a typography whore. The font folder on my computer is overflowing at this point. So I knew that this book was going to be right up my alley and I was not wrong...



It's fun and easy to use. Packed full of useful information (ABOUT HAND LETTERING, DEVELOPING A SKILL SET, TRACING & TAMPERING, UNDERSTANDING LETTERFORMS). With fun graphics and fonts ( Including pages where you can practice your own hand lettering. Each font has a bit of extra information (ANATOMY OF THE FONT, KEY FONT DETAILS, NATURAL PARTNERS). It also includes a few chapters on how to use your newly drawn fonts (HOW COMPUTERS HANDLE FONTS, BITMAP VERSUS VECTOR, DRAWING & SCANNING FONTS, DRAWING WITH VECTORS, DIGITIZING YOUR FONTS).

If you love typography and designing your own fonts, then this book would make a nice little addition to your collection.
