The issue there is the capability within fontstruct though, and out of my control past a certain point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the only thing that would improve this is maybe having more time\/work days on it? I am time blind, and can have a hard time with the passage of time, but it felt like we blew through this project in almost no time flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning and cataloguing so much finicky information about fonts &#8211; not necessarily in how to create them, though we are looking at it through that view &#8211; would be helpful if I were to ever begiving instruction to find or make a font that is like another, or in a specific style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There wasn&#8217;t any particular video or reading that helped me, I just went were it felt natural after starting the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"154\" src=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes-1024x154.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes-1024x154.png 1024w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes-768x115.png 768w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes-1536x231.png 1536w, https:\/\/comdma.com\/rowandma214blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/114\/2023\/10\/Quotes.png 1910w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A set of quotes using the first version on my typeface.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this project, we had to create our own typeface.
