Yes. Once you’re enrolled, you have the flexibility to start at your own pace, whether that’s next week, a few months down the road or even next year. 

I want the courses to fit into YOUR schedule, not the other way around.

No, you don’t need to purchase both. The Glyphs Basics mini-course is a stripped-down version of the full Font Making Course. If you plan to take the full course, it already includes everything covered in Glyphs Basics.

You’ll get full access to all videos, plus the guidebook. No need to wait for new content to appear, you can dive right in!

No, this mini course is fully self-paced and designed to be easy to follow without additional support. All the resources you need are included in the course content. If you're looking for guided help or feedback, we recommend checking out our full courses that include instructor support.

Yes! Like all of our courses, this one is 100% online. You can learn at your own pace, on your own schedule, from anywhere in the world. Stuck on a technique? No problem—just scroll back, rewatch a lesson, and pick it up again whenever you’re ready.

Yes. This mini-course is specifically made beginner-friendly to help you draw, space, and export your first characters—with zero prior experience needed.

To follow this course, you’ll need to install either Glyphs 3 or Glyphs Mini. I recommend using Glyphs 3—it handles components more smoothly, and gives you access to more advanced features down the line.

Curious about the differences between the two? Check out this blog post. You can also try Glyphs 3 for free with their 30-day trial, available on the official website.

If Glyphs 3 isn’t within your budget, Glyphs Mini is still a great option. You’ll just need to adapt some of the techniques, and the interface may look a little different from what you see in the course videos.

Let’s be honest—“lifetime access” is a bit of a stretch. You’ll have guaranteed access to the course materials for at least 5 years, or as long as the content remains relevant to the current version of the Glyphs software. For full details, please check our Refund and Cancellation policy.

While this Glyphs Basics Mini-Course offers a solid introduction to using Glyphs and creating simple fonts, it does not cover several advanced topics that are included in the full Font Making Course. These advanced topics include:​

Drawing of all upper- and lowercase letterforms, punctuation, Western European diacritics, advanced components like rounded corners, ink traps, segment components, and cap components, multiple weights like Light and Extra Bold and variable fonts, helpful plugins and scripts, OpenType features like ligatures and discretionary ligatures, kerning, spacing groups, kerning pairs, and tips snd techniques to achieve professional-level fonts. 

If you're aiming to develop a more complex and versatile typeface, or wish to deepen your understanding of font design, the Font Making Course provides the comprehensive instruction needed to advance your skills.
