What tool is used for building monospace fonts? Or if there's any tutorial or course that could help me out?

Hi! 👋 I'm a graphic designer and I love your font! I'm interested in learning more about monospace fonts and I was wondering what tool you used to build Fira Code? Or if there's any tutorial or course that could help me out?

Hi! Monospaced fonts are built just like any other fonts, as far as I know.

In case of Fira Code we use Glyphs.app. I don’t know good tutorials, but they have a good learning section on their website. There must be something on YouTube, I’m sure, too.
