How are typefaces designed? What is the process? Which characters are essential? What is the difference between roman, italic and cursive? What is OpenType? In How to create typefaces Cristóbal Henestrosa, Laura Meseguer and José Scaglione answer these and many other questions in a straightforward and direct way.
This publication, aimed at new and novice type designers as well as those trained in the field, unravels the fascinating task of creating a font, from sketch to screen.
I reckon this is a great book for a novice, not for people who have half of the bibliography on their shelves. I did miss a lot of FEB's views on certain things and I guess it could use a reference to typeworkshop by Underware, or at least, that was what I was thinking while reading.
