Find Glyphs and Advanced Type Features in Sketch

Yes they’re there and no you wont be happy about it because its still not that great— just be prepared

Just look at those glyphs on that sentence! No they dont need to be there but its a process yall…calm down.

We all know that designer. Yes that designer that is working through a sweet new design in Sketch and then they come upon something so terrible its hard to talk about. It is the thing that shall not be named for those that use the Sketch app. Yes, you’ve got it. I’m talking about the “g” word. The dreaded “glyphs”. “OH NO NOT GLYPHS!!” you scream in dismay. “Yes————glyphs,” I cackle incoherently as the word slowly reverberates through your headphones, diminishing ever so quietly as the seconds strain to move forward. This is hell.

Not just glyphs though, there are other open type features that you may be interested in accessing and lets be honest, maybe we should say it all together.

Sketch is not that great with type

There, thats better.

I’ll stop all of my lollygagging and just show you where to find them in a series of screenshots!
