had you ever designed a font prior to this? what's the process like?

Although we had never designed a font before, we had extensive experience using Figma to create our app's user interface, custom icons, and svgs over the past few years. Recognizing that creating a font from scratch would be a daunting task, we opted to adapt Nunito.

To re-design and create our own stamp on the typeface, we chose Glyphs [1], a beautifully crafted and meticulously planned program. Over the course of several months, we carefully reconsidered each character, adjusting cap heights, and refining kerning (the spacing between characters).
