Font creation is the process of designing a set of characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols, that share a consistent style. Designers use software tools like Adobe Illustrator or FontForge to create and modify each character's shape, size, and spacing. The goal is to ensure that the font is visually appealing and legible across various applications. Once the characters are designed, they are compiled into a font file format, such as TrueType or OpenType. This allows the font to be easily installed and used on computers and other devices. Proper testing is essential to ensure that the font works well in different contexts, such as print and digital media.
