Seeing your typeface in the wild for the first time is one of the most significant achievements for a typeface designer. However, making a typeface is labor-intensive and can sometimes feel like the process will never end. Like many, you will go through stages of being very motivated and productive, only to hit a snag where you’re not sure how or what to do next. Rather than giving up, let me help you break down the process into manageable stages and be your second set of eyes so you can finish that typeface efficiently.
