Okay. Have you ever seen some fonts,
and you're like, how did they make it look so pretty?
You can see that's the one we've worked in,
in the last example.
These little extra fonts are called ligatures and the part of the font but hidden away.
You can see this one here like this y. That's the default y.
But look at all the varieties of Y's you get to pick from saying for this ampersand
here all sorts of different versions to help
you pick the one that's perfect for your situation.
So let's go and do that and look at something called ligatures.
Ligatures, although they're different from glyphs,
they are actually found in the exact same place,
so let's zoom in on healing herbs.
What we want to do is we want to see if there's
any more special H's say with this H is nice,
but we want to fancy it up a little bit.
With it selected go to Type and go to Glyphs.
What will happen is if you've got a letter selected, you can see in here,
it's giving you other options for
that H. I'm going to make them a lot bigger so we can see.
This one here, you can see there's three versions of it.
So there's this version.
Then I click on this version and you're going to double-click on it.
You see it replaced it with a sushi fancy version.
Do I like it more?
What's the difference between these two?
I can't see the difference,
held in this one.
There is only actually two options.
So a fancy that this one maybe this S,
is there anything for the S?
You highlight them and you hope for the best.
This one here has a slightly different version.
This one here you can see a spiky version.
Now there'll be some litters that adjust more prone to having sushi extra bits.
You can start to see down here,
let's have a look in,
I'm going to make a new text box just for an example.
I'm going to type in Y and a lowercase y,
and you'll see if a highlight y,
it has this version.
I can just double-clicking it just to see.
But you can see y in this case there has so many versions because it ends lots of words.
It's got a nice shape to do these types of flourishes and they are called ligatures,
just somebody designs the font and then go through and goes,
"What about if it was like this and like this?",
and allows you to do some extra bits and pieces.
I find x quite useful.
I don't know why, but ampersand is one of those latest that you end up using quite a lot.
So ampersand is that, the end.
But you'll notice in here there's some really cool ampersands.
There's that one, double click it. There's that one.
Double click it, that one then,
the same font but a very different look and feels for them.
So if you're doing an invite and I feel like I've done
about a zillion wedding invites in my design career and it's
always like Dan and Katie's invite you to their weeding and it's always
the ampersand you spend the most time on because it's doing
you a big ingredient for the design.
If you look in here though,
and let's say we pick a font that isn't as exciting.
So I'm going to copy and paste this one.
I'm going to go this and I'm going to pick,
say your company uses Times New Roman.
I'm going to pick Times Regular, and healing herbs,
I'm going to highlight the H and there's no ligatures.
So you might just find that,
especially if it's a free font,
there's going to be no ligatures.
If it's just our real plain font,
they haven't gone through and done a sushi looking H. All right,
my friends that is looking at ligatures.
I'm going to go through and tidy this up and you can skip on to the next one.
So we need you.
I don't really like the little Whately, do I like it?
I'm not sure. But let's go onto the next video anyway. I'll see you over there.
