Very nice & classy font indeed.
Keep up the good work Tim...

Awesome work Tim! Out of interest, how long does it usually take you to create a font?

Also, what software do you use? I recently had a go at creating a font and used Fontlab but I’ve heard Glyphs is the best one to go with.

Nice work Tim. All your fonts are very cool. This one I think may have a wider audience.

Thanks so much for the kind words, guys!

I usually work on them in spare time, so the process ends up being stretched out over several months. Plus, with all of the additional characters, multiple styles, fine-tuning kerning, and coming up with sales images, that stretches things out. There's one guy I've seen who releases several fonts a month, so it's definitely possible to go quicker.

I'm still using Photoshop/Illustrator for the initial design and then a free program called FontForge for the building, but the process feels outdated by about 10 years. I'm with you in hearing Glyphs as the hot one mentioned a lot now. I hope you're enjoying the process -- I'm still learning new things (usually the hard way ) every time, but feel free to send a message if there's anything I might be able to help with.

The additional characters are what take up the most time I found. I didn’t do mine to sell, it was for a logo I had to recreate which had custom characters so I recreated some and decided to have a go at making a font but that was a few months ago and I haven’t touched it since lol

It’s very complicated process, especially the kerning, I haven’t got a clue where to start with that

I may send you a message if I get back to it

Another year, another font!

This one started out as a new option for a back cover synopsis font, and expanded to include a serif variation and an inline version combining the two.

Thank you for having a look!

As usual, my favorite part is trying a bunch of different directions for the sales images:
