If you can draw it, you can type it!”įontself Maker simplifies the whole type-making process to unprecedented levels, by introducing novel ways to make fonts, like drag & drop within Adobe’s apps, or by abstracting the complexity of current font technologies, like the visual editing of OpenType ligatures and glyph alternates, which do not require any programming know-how thanks to an intuitive interface. Basically every typographic design now has the potential of becoming a font. New York-based illustrator & lettering superstar Alex Trochut is a prime example of the creatives who’ve embraced a new skill with Fontself, now jumping on the color font bandwagon: “I’ve always been intimidated by font creation programs but with Fontself a whole new world of possibilities opened up to me. In early 2017, the leading ad agency partnered with Fontself to bring life to the Gilbert color font – a Cannes Lions 2017 Silver Award & a colorful tribute to Gilbert Baker, creator of the iconic Rainbow Flag.Īdobe showcased the Fontself-powered Gilbert color font during its MAX 2017 conference keynote to announce the support of the OpenType-SVG color font format in Illustrator CC 2018, following up on last year’s support in Photoshop CC 2017, highlighting the importance of color fonts for the future of the graphic industry.Īs the Fontself Maker user community keeps growing (it started gathering during a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015), it is now about to produce a whole new generation of typefaces, chromatic fonts and color fonts, leading to a typographic renaissance that will benefit to the whole design community. And this includes color, gradients, and all other kinds of fun”. “Fontself Maker is a tool that allows designers to turn any vector artwork into a typeface. “It’s a real game changer” says Justin Au, an art director at Ogilvy & Mather New York. “Creatives can finally produce vector fonts that contain the colors & shades of their original lettering, leveraging Fontself Maker’s revolutionarily easy type-making features to generate rich, eye-popping typefaces in minutes”.
