Font design Building a display font in Glyphs for the Diversity Type Project - Part 1.
The Diversity type project from The Distillery Agency along with People of Print have put out a worldwide call for people of all backgrounds to submit letter designs.
People of Print asked if I would help by turning the letters into a working font. In this video, I show you a little about how the font has been built with a few tutorials and tips for getting started with your own display font.
