Glyphs Pros and Cons

Glyphs is professional software for creating an entire font family, even as a variable font, and also allows you to simply create letters for export, for example for a logo. You can also edit an existing font. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would give the possibility of inserting more types of export, also for the creation of vector graphics or for entire logos. In fact, Glyph has some really great tools for vector graphics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

lyphs was obviously born for type design but it is a real vector work environment, with functions concerning anchor points and truly professional handles. Those who are used to working with Illustrator will have no difficulty in handling it. It also allows copying / pasting from other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have little to object to what its purpose is. Regularly updated, small bugs may occur which are however immediately solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Glyphs are used by many professional type designers as well as major names in the font field. It has all the features needed by professional font designers, such as intelligent components, interpolation, kerning, hinting, and even variable font beta support. On the website, there is a support forum and the developers are very open. Cutting edge updates are regularly issued. Help questions are generally answered within hours and often followed up with an updated version of the application if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To receive cutting edge updates, which are published every couple of days, you can opt-in. These provide new functionality, but also introduce fresh bugs or alter the details without being aware of it. Better remain with the official releases of the stable. You should adhere to the principles set for you by the Glyphs. For example, all the automated features won't function correctly if you try to use your own glyph names.
