Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 188 Crafting an Infinity symbol to match a specific font, part of Deke's Techniques.
Hey, gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week I'll show you how to create a custom infinity character to match a specific font inside Adobe Illustrator.…Now you may wonder why in the world you'd want to do such a thing.…Well, for one, it's a great exercise, and I'll show you some terrific uses for the Width tool.…But also, most fonts, even big whopping fonts like Adobe Caslon which ships along with most…versions of the Creative Suite, don't include an infinity symbol.…So we've got the usual letters and numbers and then we've got a whopping bunch of symbols…here, including punctuation marks, and we've got these money things right there and then…ligatures and some math stuffs and some accented characters, and just for laughs we have…a bunch of ornaments as well.…
But there isn't any infinity character whatsoever.…Now you do have an infinity character in a font like symbol, so you can go ahead and…plop that in if you want.…There it is small, there it is big, and it's surrounded by Adobe Caslon Pro.…
