I’ve got an iMac 5K so the screenshot is huuuge…" I just had to adjusted the baselines of the letters p, q and y and the font was born." Later I drew them in Illustrator using simple circles and lines, grouped the right elements together and hit the ‘a-z’ button of Fontself. I made simple sketches of the letters a-z. One font started with a doodle in my moleskine notebook. "Yes, both designs are my own creations and were made in the last five days. Then I wondered whether he had crafted both fonts on his own: I shoot weddings, portraits, architecture and landscape and I create web- and printdesigns for small and medium businesses. Last summer, I quit my ‘dayjob’ and I am now a fully self-employed creative. I then worked for five years as a college teacher for physics and mathematics where I also taught courses in photography, 3d-visualization and webdesign.ĭrawing, writing and other creative stuff has been my passion since my earliest years and I had a growing business aside of my job at the school. But after the diploma, I had trouble to find something where I can let my creativity out. " I originally made a masters degree in materials science. plus early backer & beta tester of Fontself Patrick Itten: husband, father, photographer, webdesigner, teacher, material scientist. I asked Patrick (the Swiss dad) whether he'd agree to share some pics of the fonts he had created with Fontself. You can't imagine how much this type of messages gives us the energy to fight all the upcoming challenges.Īnyways. Thanks to you, to all the Kickstarter backers, one girl - somewhere in the Switzerland - is discovering the joy of type making, with her daddy. Wow! Now, THIS is really warming up our mind & soul. Even my 10yr old daughter is participating and creating her own font." " I am experimenting with font creation. At least one person would enjoyed this very rough preview of the extension. It works! This is so much fun! I’m looking forward to play with it."Ĭool. Then, we received this message from one of the beta testers: When we pushed the very first beta release to some early backers, it first took a couple back-and-forth bug fixes to get it up & running. Thank you so much Diego Bionda for sharing this font with everyone: PS1: ok, just this one because it's a new milestone for Fontself: one of our early backer just published the very first public font that was created with Fontself Maker.
