The Nautigal

Inspired by the hand lettering design for a friend’s yacht, this contemporary script style, The Nautigal is fluid yet formal with beautiful connectors.

Building the Fonts

The font is built using fontmake and gftools post processing script. Tools are all python based, so it must be previously installed.

To install all the Python tools into a virtualenv, do the following:

From terminal:

cd your/local/project/directory

#once in the project folder create a virtual environment. 
This step has to be done just once, the first time:

python3 -m venv venv

#activate the virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

#install the required dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run the this command:

cd sources
gftools builder config.yml
