I used to design typefaces as a hobby. It is not so easy. You might think that your typeface looks fine but some experienced typeface designer will rip your design to pieces saying the bowls are not smooth, the stems are not having consistent thickness etc(he is not wrong. I just didn't have the "eye" for spotting such things).

But as they say, practice makes man perfect. Good Luck.

It takes around 6-7 months to design just a "regular" typeface. Be patient if you ever take this up.
