Making ligatures in Glyphs, proper easy!
In this type design tutorial, I’ll show you how to add ligatures to your font in Glyphs app.
Adding ligatures to your font gives it that something extra. When I buy font (particularly display fonts) I look for the added ligatures and stylistic sets, so these are elements I make a real effort to add to my fonts.
Ligatures are great for adding a unique look to headings and logotype.
