Say hello to Sugar Babe, my new font

March 4, 2018Leave a comment

I’ve just released another font! It feels like it’s been ages since I created a new one, but that’s mostly just because creating a font takes a zillion times longer than creating a brush. This one is called Sugar Babe, named after a nickname for my 14-year-old cat Lil Thang. She was heavily involved in this project, sitting on my lap during testing in Glyphs, trying to tap the Apple Pencil out of my hand while I was cleaning it up on my iPad and eventually just sitting on my computer so I couldn’t use it. Classic cat stuff.

You can pick up Sugar Babe now on Etsy and Creative Market.

The only thing I wish they offered were some standard shape brushes—a circle, a square, a heart, just standard shape stamps. After seeing a question about where to find standard shape stamp brushes posted in one of the iPad lettering FB groups I’m in, I decided to whip up this quick tutorial to show you how to make your own basic shape stamp for free using the Over app.

Here’s a quick video version, or check out the step by step image version below.
