#A subreddit for the art and craft of type design.

Absolute beginners, advanced and expert type designers are all welcome here.

Do you want to learn how to design a font, but just have no idea where to begin? Do you feel overwhelmed by type design software? Are you looking to get feedback on fonts you are working on, or do you just want to share a beautiful letterform or font you have discovered? This might be the place for you!

#Please do post

Work in progress of typefaces for critique or discussion
Finished typefaces you have designed
Examples of interesting or beautiful letterforms, type specimens and fonts
Any content concerning type designers and type foundries (interviews, lectures, articles etc)
Guides, tutorials and walkthroughs
Questions or troubles with type design software
Discussions on technical or artistic aspects

#Please do not post

Typeface identification requests (Please visit r/identifythisfont)
Designs which concern themselves with the arrangement of type rather than the design of the letterforms (try r/typography for that)
Repeated plugs of your own typefaces without contributing to the community (you are welcome to post typefaces you are selling, but try to bring something to the community by describing how you created the font or answering questions)
