Update from Mekka : You can batch process all glyphs at the same time in Font view. Repeat these 3 Steps for each character in your font until your font looks like the image below *. Take your images into Photoshop, Desaturate them (⌘ + Shift + U) and use Levels to adjust your whites and blacks to get a nice high contrast. If your photos are like mine, you’ll need to clean them up a little bit. If you don’t really care all that much, just take a picture of the full page like shown below.Įditing Your Images Now, these images might need some help in the way of contrast before the next step. Note: If you want to collect more detail of your characters, take pictures of sections of characters up close. Instead, I just took pictures with my iPhone and transferred them to my computer - Airdrop on Mac OSX makes this transferring of images fast and simple. A scanner would probably be ideal at this stage, but I don’t have one of those any more.
Go ahead and erase those pencil lines you drew. Photograph (or Scan) Your Characters Alrighty, now you’ve got your fun-tastic, handwritten letters and symbols ready to digitize. In the case of Aldi, I added numbers and some other basic characters like parenthesis, mathematic symbols, etc.
Note: Think about how designers might use your font in their work.
