Member Rya… Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform How fast can you make a font from scratch? I think it is a fascinating question, with some merit, though of course, if we expected everyone to work as fast as possible, we would have a lot of mediocre typefaces. So that's it then, how fast can you create a mediocre font? From scratch mind.. Link to comment
