I recommend this book https://fontsarena.com/blog/how-to-create-typefaces/ (How to create typefaces — from sketch to screen).

It's very beginner friendly and has good explanations. I'm not a type designer, but I created my own experimental fonts after reading it. It also includes 3 different processes/ways to start designing fonts, while encouraging the reader to refine them in time, and find their own best fit.

As software to create my fonts I used FontSelf.

Note: the article does NOT have affiliate buying links, and I'm not advertising in any way. It's just a personal recommendation, I have nothing to gain from this.

Do you know about this? https://fontawesome.com/

There are some typeface/font design classes on Linkedin Learning.

For me flaticon.com gets the job done, but I'm a person who doesn't look for many different options after settling on one LOL
