Some fonts that look very organic start out as completely vector. Some very hard edged fonts start out as pencil sketches. For me, it's all over the place. Wherever a good idea starts--that's fine with me. I'll get it where it needs to be in the end.

1) export as 1200 dpi png,
2) vector trace (Inkscape for me),
3) copy/paste into vector editor. Can get better nodes with some fiddling of threshold/optimize in trace step
