[Sponsor] Glyphs 4

Glyphs 4 is a powerful font creation software that allows users to turn any path into a living shape. Users can manipulate pen points to control width, height, and angle, ensuring smooth transitions between nodes. The software offers a wide range of customization options, from combining colored shapes with blending modes and opacities to create smoother gradients, to exporting as images or COLRv1 fonts.

Kerning, a feature of Glyphs, has become more user-friendly with the introduction of drag and drop glyphs onto the shelf to build kerning groups, making it easy to organize and structure font sets. The left sidebar in the edit view provides quick access to critical tools, while the filter function allows users to walk through their glyph sets and inspect interpolations.

Additional features include the ability to pick caps and corners for monoline strokes, batch-edit with ease, and navigate complex font families using the new master selector. This tool allows users to group, filter, and browse their masters in one place, making it easier to find specific properties and switch masters on the fly.

Glyphs 4 also includes a revamped text preview window for testing designs without leaving the app, enabling users to try different alignments, trackings, leadings, flip through instances, change colors, and test OpenType features. The handbook, tutorials, courses, and books provided by the Glyphs community are invaluable resources for users to learn and master the software.
