OK so we're in the type Hunger-Free section and we get to do lots of tips and tricks and this video
just like lots of little stuff that will help your workflow.
And let's start with wrapping up the character Penno just because we can use whenever here on the side
but it's just easier for the moment to have a separate panel go.
So what I'm looking to do is this font here at the top here.
I want to change.
OK.
So some of the nice things you can do is up the top here when I dropped down.
OK there are some fillers on the top here.
I want to change it to something like maybe a slide Sarath.
So what it's going to do is somehow magically it knows all the fonts are in here that are celeb's tariffs.
OK so just really easy to cut these things down.
Case I want to use Henriot font.
You can see I'm just hovering above it and it's updating on the lift there.
Super handy.
Makes you turn it off otherwise it stays on forever.
And it looks like you don't have too many fonts.
Favorites is a good one so you are mixing with fonts lots kind of playing around with brands and trying
to fonts.
But there's a few that you use all the time.
You just stop them.
OK so Muzio I use a lot to say let's use last.
It's what you can do is you can come in to here and kind of go into the dropdown and just click on this
option and it just lists your favorites.
OK.
So just a quick way rather than let's go let's go let's go.
OK.
Depending on how many fronts you have right now you want find similar is super handy as well.
And for some reason Muzio can't doesn't work right.
Sunger change just on the last.
And so I'm using lost right and it's a nice big display font.
And but I want to find something else.
OK I've used it too much choice to find something different to open this.
There's an option here this little wavy line is.
Apply similar filter.
So I want you to go and find some fonts to last and you can see here.
Pretty cool it's got some.
Whoa where was that one.
That one.
No you know let of use cause that's bad.
And but yes some good ones in here are that are pretty close.
And so that is quite Sify it doesn't look for them if I click on this guy Muzio and click on some of
the girls can't find anything.
OK so it doesn't 100 percent work.
The next thing is type kit.
OK.
If you're not using it already dropped down and you have to have a pay Creative Cloud subscriber account
click add funds from type kit and I won't cover this too much because you probably are already using
it if you're not you probably can't.
And I always come browse at the top here log in with your Adobe ID and I love you.
An A Let's say I'm going to put my name in there.
OK.
And the cool thing about it is you can decide on what kind of fun you're looking for.
And because it's part of your creative crowd subscription and it allows you to download these guys for
free it's really easy to do say you like this one here you click on it you click sync all and kick back
relax and Kotaro should appear in Illustrator.
You see at the top there there he is.
So now I can say cool Tado areas quite like them.
And what I find quite handy is well up here is that I want to just search by this because it's the ones
that have gone through and like pulled from type kits that's often stuff I've kind of really spent time
trying to find.
Wow.
OK so those are the filters.
It's to them all off.
They stay on.
So you remove it to turn them off when you're finished.
OK the next thing to look at is and to do with open type phones and the ligatures.
So there are some phones in here that have you see Teekay and all those good fonts though they're both
open type fonts.
The top ones all the ones say oh the ones that are not so good are these T.T. ones these old school
true type fonts.
The reason the difference sometimes you've got on your machine right two of the same funny-I.
Why do I have lust and lust gayo lust MT or something else.
Often it's to do with the ligatures and glyphs that come along with the font.
What I mean by that is this font here was designed by a wonderful type designer.
I love this font.
But let's say I want to look at I don't like the way the x is flowery for me.
I'm going to duplicate that a few times.
What I'd like to do is because it's an open type font.
I can see that or type good font.
OK.
T.K. or what I can do is I can highlight a letter and you can see it on the bottom here.
There's alternatives.
OK so it's just you know so the the the type designer type I prefer photographer the word bat that decided
he or she has decided that they've got kind of two options.
That's true of lot of the letters.
OK slicked on it is a big floury version there.
OK.
There's actually two versions of this.
Oh I might choose to use.
OK.
And yet it's a nice way of building up kind of complex looking things and not having to do the courage
to all the with to get even better and say the designer has decided that and you know that if they call
them Stylistics sets.
So they've designed it with all these flowers get all these flourishes.
And what you can do is with it selected.
OK.
We're going to go to this open type if you can't find that it's under a window type open type.
What we want to do is down the bottom here.
This is one called.
So this is the one and you can see the same.
Yes.
So that's that's what the designer decided is the kind of first option.
Second option is all these curly bits.
OK.
So three OK has them kind of coming back across.
There's one here fall for looks the same as everything else say five.
I'm just going through them all right.
So they're often OK.
It's an open type font or Kyp font.
There are stylistic saints and you will find just kind of some extra glyphs and ligatures to use and
you can copy and paste them from age to kind of build up something quite nice.
Another new feature is called The technology has been around for a while but there's just so I'm going
to use this body copy here.
And these variable fonts which is kind of crazy right.
There's only a few of them available at the moment and illustrator has included a couple in the this
version.
OK this is s.c 2018.
But if I drop this down this is Chunkin here.
Can you see his var.
OK so it is open type variables and pick.
There's not many to pick from.
So we're going to pick from and use Ekuban OK because it has lots of things so click on that.
Now what's going to happen is nothing except this little option here.
Don't click on that and this magic Ignus happens.
So watch this somehow what's striking.
Keep an eye on that.
Let's move this up here.
OK.
Watch this.
You wait it just magically gets bigger.
OK.
So it's not just like adding a stroker on the outside the design has made some really kind of stylistic
choices about how things grow where they grow.
OK.
So wait.
Same with the with.
It's pretty amazing that you can just go actually I want the you know is that a condensed or compress
you can kind of find some kind of happy medium for what you need.
Ok same with the slant.
OK.
Pretty Kohei.
And there's not many fonts that are built into Illustrator and there are more you can go and buy and
use if you need that kind of flexibility.
Not all of them have the full.
I picked that one as an example because it has weight with and sland some of the let's say like some
of these verbal ones say minyon OK and I click on this.
It only has white and optical size K so can the weight and the optical size is kind of interesting like
it's not really making it wider or big it's just kind of like adding more volume.
Some pretty cool stuff.
All right my friends that is my tips and tricks for fonts.
And type in Adobe Illustrator.
Let's get on to some more.
Type things in this section.
All right.
So in the next video.
