Harrison explained the relationship between the company’s two major font editing products, Fontographer and FontLab Studio: “Any designer who can draw Bézier outlines can make a high-quality font using Fontographer.

On the other hand, setting technical font parameters such as font naming or linespacing in Fontographer used to be cumbersome and did not consider recent developments such as OpenType-so we’ve redesigned those aspects from scratch with the goal of making them as easy to use as the rest of the product.” FOG users always appreciated the speed, ease, and precision in which they could draw Bézier outlines in the product-so we’ve kept the drawing tools and implemented some longstanding feature requests, such as a larger zoom level or outline antialiasing. According to Adam Twardoch, FontLab’s product and marketing manager, “The beauty of Fontographer is that it allows you to concentrate on the creative process of designing a typeface, without being distracted by the technical aspects of font making.
