Hi there,
so i just started with typography etc. a couple of weeks ago. I now wanted to turn my handwriting into a font.
As a font editor I'm using type 3.2. My plan was to vectorize my letters, save them as a svg and import them to type 3.2.
To do that, I wanted to use the live tracing tool. Unfortunately it takes all the texture of my letters away. I tried all kind of different settings, but nothing worked...
I'm just wondering how professionals keep this "textured" look in their fonts, e.g. this one: File “Script Fonts Product Images ~ Wild Spirit Font… ~ Creative M...”

This is how my letters look like: File “svg.svg_ @ 50% (CMYK_GPU Preview) 2017-03-24 23.18.14.png”
When I trace them, this is how they look like (the very best): File “svg.svg_ @ 50% (CMYK_GPU Preview) 2017-03-24 23.22.26.png”
The image of the letters is 5500 x 3000 and almost 3mb big - so I don't think the solution is the problem?
I appreciate any tips, advice or ideas!
Cheers,
Sinikka
