Brambly

Using a Fontself hand-drawn font in Apple Pages

I’m not familiar with Adobe Illustrator, so it’s been a bit of learning curve, creating this ‘Brambly’ font using the Fontself Illustrator extension but I’m gradually getting into the logic of it but once I’d done that the font was available to be used in any program, such as here on a newsletter template in Apple Pages.

I wouldn’t use it for text like this but I can see the possibilities. I’d like to try and create a typeface that resembled my regular sketchbook lettering but to get into the process it’s going to be more fun to try a series of more illustrative fonts, where readability isn’t the main concern.

Butterbur and kingcups are in flower in a small stream or drainage ditch between the sewage works and the end Industrial Street at Horbury Junction. A fresh-looking peacock butterfly feeds on dandelions alongside the canal.
