Final Typeface Design

I named it 'Pipes', as I felt that it just when with the style of the font.
 
The outlines of each glyph were created in Illustrator and the grids made it very easy to create perfect curves. It was then transferred into Fontographer, where it was scaled and aligned.
 
I found that using Fontographer was one of the hardest parts of this task. A great piece of software that it is, I still found that sometimes it wouldn't let me align a glyph properly and every time I saved the project, each glyph would change position and scale.
 
The design was then outputted in TrueTypeface (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) format, for installation on both Mac and Windows.
