Which design software do you guys mostly use to create handwritten fonts like this one?

Thank you!

It really depends on your budget and/or if you use a Mac or Windows based system. FontCreator (Windows only), FontLab (Win & Mac), and GlyphsApp (Mac only) are all perfect for the job. You might also want to take a look at FontForge (Win & Mac).

You will just need to decide which font editor suits your needs.

In Fontlab you can just write out your alphabet on a piece of paper; scan it in; and then tweak it.

I designed my first fonts using FontForge and Affinity Designer. I had to write some SVG preprocessing programs and scripts to enable a faster workflow to export from the vector graphics program and import into FontForge.

I really recommend buying the Glyphs Mini program if you're on a Mac or buying the cheaper version of FontCreator instead of wasting too much time on FontForge.

Either way I also suggest having a user friendly vector graphics editor such as Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator ready.

You can also create fonts by hand, scan it and import it automatically using calligraphr, but my experience is that those fonts end up looking awful without rework in a proper font editor.

So to sum up, you'll need a font editor such as:

1. Glyphs or Glyphs Mini (Mac only)
2. FontLab (Considered the "industry standard")
3. Fontographer (cheaper font editor by the same peoble who made FontLab)
4. FontCreator (Windows only)
5. FontForge (free and open source, but crashes a lot and difficult to work with)
6. Robofont

None of the Font Creation programs have as good vector graphics editing features as a proper vector graphics editor, so I also suggest getting Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, Xara, CorelDraw or some other vector editor you find more comfortable to work with.

If you want to create your first font fast it can be a fun exercise to use tools such as Calligraphr or Scanahand where you can draw a font by hand and scan it to create a fully functional font.

Each program costs somewhere between 50 USD/EUR and 300, with the more expensive ones somewhere between 400-600 USD/EUR.

Personally I ended up buying the full version of FontCreator for my Windows desktop and Glyphs Mini for my Mac. I find that Glyphs Mini is my favorite and will probably upgrade to the full version sometime next year.

Also Type 3.2

Thank you guys for all your answers! It was very helpful! I will take a look at each program you've mentioned.
