      You've never done it?

      You can of course use Illustrator to draw glyphs and then use FontSelf Maker (a commercial third party plugin) to make them into a font. You can also use it to adjust the negative space and such, but there are a lot of things to watch out for when making a font, so probably it would be a good idea to partner with an independent font designer.

      If you want to investigate what needs to go into it, you will find a lot of tutorials on the Fontself website https://help.fontself.com/en/articles/889013-tutorials

      There are other font editors as well, such as FontForge (Opensource), Birdfont (low priced) or Glyphs. All of them have tutorials so you can get a glimpse of what needs to be done when designing a font.
