This was so frustrating to me! I love the look of the curves, but I can't get my pen tool to make such a pretty curve. I've been working on it for an hour, but maybe some more guidance from the author would be nice! I have some experience in Illustrator, but not a whole lot.
The Pen tool can be a bit trickey. Be sure to click once with the first click and not drag yet. Then, click in the next point and drag to curve the line. If you want to reset the curve angle before the next point, hover over and click over the most recent point. E-mail me at ctneuman (at) gmail.com if you need further help.
Thanks! Chad

This is an amazing tutorial and incredibly useful! Is there a way to save these items as individual fonts themselves for reuse? (Probably not)
More importantly, is there a way to print this afterwards for a logo, like on business cards? I know a lot of print companies want you to include the typeface with the business card design when you submit it to print. But if these are now outlines, doesn't that mean they won't be able to print them anymore as type for logo reuse?
Frustrating!!
