Designing a Font is only the beginning of the problem.
Every creator hits the same wall eventually. You've built a brand, a book series, a product line... and every font you use is one thousands of other sellers already have. It's the same three fonts in every Etsy shop. The same generic sans-serif on every cover. The same "close enough" typeface standing in for the one you actually pictured.
You've probably tried to fix this the hard way. Maybe you opened a font-drawing app once and closed it twenty minutes later, staring at a lowercase "g" that looked nothing like the rest of your alphabet. Hand-drawing a full character set, uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation, and getting every stroke weight and counter to match... that's the kind of project that swallows weeks and still comes out looking uneven.
So most people give up and go back to licensing someone else's design. Which means someone else's brand voice quietly becomes part of yours.
Imagine Being Able to...
-
Imagine describing a style once and watching a full alphabet appear in that exact voice.
-
Imagine opening a finished OTF file and installing it in your own design software the same day.
-
Imagine your book covers, planners, and product mockups carrying a typeface that belongs to no one else.
-
Imagine listing your own font for sale next to the ones you used to buy.
-
Imagine catching a wobbly counter or a mismatched stroke weight before it ever reaches a customer.
-
Imagine building a second font, then a third, each one faster than the last.
This course was built to solve that problem.
Design Your Own Font...
gives you one repeatable system for taking a typeface from a rough idea to a finished, kerned, exportable font family, using AI to generate the letterforms and a purpose-built studio to turn them into a professional file. You're not learning to hand-draw type.
You're learning to direct it, refine it, and ship it.
What's Inside this MasterClass Module?
Type Foundations, Made Fluent
You'll learn to see type the way a type designer does, stems, bowls, counters, terminals, ascenders and descenders, and the vocabulary (weight, contrast, kerning, tracking) that lets you describe exactly what you want instead of hoping AI guesses right.
Your Style DNA
Before a single letter gets generated, you'll define the description that keeps every glyph in your alphabet consistent. This is the difference between a font that looks designed and a pile of letters that happen to share a page.
The AI Generation System
You'll work through a structured sequence for producing a complete, sellable character set, uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation, symbols, weights, and true italics, using AI image tools built for this exact job.
From Pixels to a Real Font File
Inside Font Studio, you'll take your AI-generated letterforms through vectorizing, editing, and kerning, then export an actual OTF/TTF family other software can open and use.
Package It and Sell It
You'll finish with a specimen poster, product mockups, and the licensing basics that turn a font file into a listed, sellable product.
THIS COURSE IS PERFECT FOR:
POD and Etsy sellers who are tired of blending in with every other shop using the same handful of licensed fonts.
Book, journal, and planner creators who want a proprietary typeface that makes their covers and interiors instantly recognizable as theirs.
AI artists and digital product creators looking for a new, highly sellable product category they can build in a single afternoon.

YOU'LL BE READY TO...
-
Generate a complete, consistent character set for an original typeface
-
Vectorize and edit letterforms into clean, professional outlines
-
Kern a font so it reads with even, professional rhythm
-

Meet Your Expert Instructor
Hi there! Tony Laidig here... I’m known as The Public Domain Expert, but what I really do is help creators like you unlock limitless potential through AI and public domain content... without the overwhelm.
I’ve been experimenting with AI writing and art tools since before they were cool (back in 2018), and over the last 18+ years, I’ve designed more than 600 book covers, including several that landed on the New York Times Best-Seller list.
My goal? To make creativity more accessible, more profitable, and way more fun!
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to figure out how to create books, products, or art that actually stand out, I’ve probably built a course or strategy to help. I’ve taught over 2,000 course modules covering everything from publishing and book design to AI-generated art, children’s books, video content, and beyond.
And while I love teaching and creating, I live what I teach... traveling the country in an RV with my wife Kristen and our two cats, making art, writing, and capturing inspiration with my camera wherever we roam.
If you're ready to explore powerful tools, timeless content, and scalable creative strategies, you're in the right place!
