I am completely new to Adobe software and I would like to know which apps do experts recommend to create professional typography. I thank you in advance for your time.

If you want to create special letters and use them occasionally, you can make them as vectors in Illustrator. This is in fact how most type designers start, combining the shapes into a fonts later after worrying about typographic consistency, kerning, ligatures, baselines, oversetting, accents, encoding, hints, file formats, font families and many other highly expert concepts. Few people do this, the market is far too small for Adobe to enter.

No, Adobe does not produce any such exceptionally-specialized software for font design and creation.

Hi there Dov, I am fully subscribed to adobe creative cloud and also wondered if there is a font / typeface building programme. Not only for vector based font building / control of alphabet, width, kerning, leading etc. But also an app that places letters into a usable and typeable typeface? Can you suggest one if so?
