Cómo hacer tu propia tipografía

Hello friends, have you ever wanted to create your own fonts for your creative projects? What if I told you that you have an online option available to create your handwritten fonts easily and simply? Of course, creating a font is a long and complex process, where people who dedicate themselves to this spend a lot of time preparing. With this solution, you won't create the next Helvetica, but you will create a very original, unique, and personalized font.

Hola amigos, ¿alguna vez has querido crear tus propias tipografías para tus proyectos creativos? ¿Y si te cuento que tienes una opción disponible online para crear tus tipografías manuscritas de forma fácil y sencilla? Por supuesto, la creación de una tipografía es un proceso largo y complejo, donde las personas que se dedican a esto pasan mucho tiempo preparándose. Con esta solución no crearás la próxima Helvética, pero sí una fuente muy original, única y personalizada.

How to Create Your Own Font? Steps:

¿Cómo crear tu propia fuente? Pasos:

  1. The first thing we will do is go to our trusted browser and enter the following website:

Calligraphr - Draw your own fonts.

  1. Lo primero que haremos será dirigirnos a nuestro navegador de confianza y entrar al siguiente sitio web:

Calligraphr - Dibuje sus propias fuentes.

  1. Depending on what we need, we will have the option to register and acquire one of their plans, with access to different functions such as greater use of characters, ligatures, and character variants. But for what we need, fonts for our personal projects, the free option is more than enough. So we will create an account and, as always, use an email and password.
  1. Dependiendo de lo que necesitemos, tendremos la opción de registrarnos y adquirir uno de sus planes, con acceso a distintas funciones como mayor uso de caracteres, ligaduras y variantes de caracteres. Pero para lo que necesitamos, fuentes para nuestros proyectos personales, la opción gratuita es más que suficiente. Así que iremos a crear cuenta y, como siempre, usaremos un correo y contraseña.

  1. The page itself will provide us with a step-by-step assistant that will guide us. The important thing will be to obtain our template for the fonts in PDF or PNG format.
  1. La propia página nos proporcionará un asistente paso a paso que nos guiará. Lo importante será obtener nuestra plantilla para las fuentes en formato PDF o PNG.

  1. With this downloaded template, we can do several things to design our font:
  1. Con esta plantilla descargada, podremos hacer varias cosas para diseñar nuestra fuente:

We can either print it and draw each letter by hand or open it in our favorite editing or drawing program and draw the letters. For this tutorial, I will be using Illustrator.

Bien podemos imprimir e ir dibujando cada letra a mano o abrirla en nuestro programa de edición o dibujo favorito y dibujar las letras. Para este tutorial estaré usando Illustrator.

In each space, you will see that a letter is assigned. The only thing you have to do is avoid going out of the space intended for each character.

En cada espacio verás que está asignada una letra. Lo único que tienes que hacer es evitar salirte del espacio destinado para cada carácter.

This is how a quick test turned out to demonstrate everything that can be achieved.

Así quedó una rápida prueba para demostrar todo lo que se puede lograr.

  1. The next step will be to look for the "New Font" option and upload our file with the fonts you drew.
  1. Lo siguiente será buscar la opción "Nueva Fuente" y subir nuestro archivo con las fuentes que dibujaste.
  1. In a short time, we will have our font file to download and install on our devices.
  1. En poco tiempo tendremos nuestro archivo de fuentes para descargar e instalar en nuestros dispositivos.

I leave you with some applications in stickers that I created with this typography. I hope you like it and find this tutorial useful.
