Shut down your computer and get you pens and paper out.

A font doesn’t always need perfect lines and curves. I’m not sure what to write, but let's give it a go.Don’t restrict yourself to drawing vectors. In total, it contains 323 glyphs.The font format is. You can buy the full commercial version for £10, it includes basic characters, western European and central European characters, numbers, symbols, punctuation and a whole lot more. If you are a fellow texture nerd, you’ll know what I mean.Once I was happy with the look and feel, illustrator auto trace, and paste into glyphs app, a bit of tweaking.Job done. If I see something that looks wrong I will normally fix it now in photoshop.I really like adding texture, its fun and you can get creative with your distress marks. I pulled together a few crumpled textures and got to work.My aim here is to give the work more texture and thus more character. I mull it over and use it as a template for the next attempt.Gradually everything starts to take shape, and I’m ready to scan in and add texture.Īfter a quick level adjustment to get rid of my pencil guidelines, it's time to apply some texture. Anyhow.With a pencil, I draw two simple guidelines then I use my trusty Faber castell pens to draw the letters.The first drawing is normally quite bad. It's fun and creative-converting to a typeface is the real ball ache. I’ve come to realise that drawing all the letters is the enjoyable part. There is a natural beauty with old printed fonts that I love. The inspiration has come from the old American style fonts, cowboy films, seeing the remake of True Grit, printing presses, and woodblock typefacesI didn’t want a clean looking design, fonts don’t have to be all clean lines.I wanted something dirty.I wanted something messed up, distressed and with bags of character.

I’m apologizing now for the amount of western puns that I'm about to inflict on you. This time I’ve gone all western on your ass.
