Fontmaking Foundations
About the
workshop
Expand your typography skills by learning how fonts are made. Learn more about the form and functionality of fonts in this fun alphabet-building, font-making workshop.
Participants will learn a bit about the font history of presenter Chank Diesel through a brief presentation, then we'll work together to define a concept for a new font. Working from that concept we'll craft the letters of a fresh new typeface, review our work, and then turn the letters into a real workable font before your eyes.
Chank Diesel creates exciting fonts that add life and personality to the printed word. He creates new custom fonts to help build great brands and identities and many of Chank's fonts are available through Adobe Fonts and also sold through great distributors like MyFonts, ILoveTypography and Fontspring. Clients happy with Chank's custom font work include Prince, Crayola, Ben & Jerry's, Target, PBS Kids, Doctor Who, Cartoon Network, Electronic Arts, Scholastic Books, Simon&Schuster, Walt Disney and many more.
Chank Co also offers custom font licensing for software and hardware manufacturers and app developers who require fonts to enhance the appeal and functionality of their digital products.
