Hi guys, 

I'm a tattoo artist since like a year now and just curious if there is an easy way to create my own font. 

The one from pic below is the closest I can get with showing you the direction I want to go, If you know the font name it will help too!

Thats my first post here, peace

Correct answer Dave Merchant

There are several online tools that claim to convert scanned shapes into a "font", but to do it properly - especially with cursive characters that have to join together - is a complicated process involving tables of kerning calculations and some very careful design rules. Most foundries use commercial packages such as FontLab.

 

Adobe has no software for font design or manipulation.
