for kerning) without converting to paths. You can adjust the position and spacing within text (e.g. Click to select the text object, and use the handles there to stretch, or click a second time to switch to the handles for skewing and rotating. To expand on first point: if you want to stretch or skew a whole block of text, you can just use the selection tool. I recently heard of a 3rd way to convert text to path, but it does not come to mind at the moment. Path menu > Union, converts the text to path, but the individual character/paths are all combined into a compound path. Path menu > Object to Path, converts the text to path, but puts the paths all in a group. Use the status bar to figure out if it's a group or text or paths. In that case, you need to use Path menu > Break Apart. Or it could be in a compound path (more than one path combined). In that case, you'll need to ungroup (Object menu, button on command bar, or key shortcut). If it's already converted to paths (curves), it depends on how you converted it as to what state it might now be in. The correct order is: type text, convert to path, break apart You won't be sorry.I assumed that it would be possible to type text into an Inkscape document, select it, break it apart, and convert it to "curves'.so that each letter could be skewed or stretched or whatever just as any other vector based object.Įxcept for the order, you have it right. Whether you've never established a vibe online (you can easily start with a brand color palette), or you're ready to switch it up, two words: curve text. Social media momentsīillions of people engage with social media these days, so the need for top-notch content is greater than ever before.

It's almost too easy. If you're looking for an excuse to use curve letters, you've got a million! And remember, adjusting the curvature can make it as nuanced or bold as you like. Wedding announcements, save-the-dates, bachelorette parties, RSVPs, and moreĪny kind of party (retirement, birthday, work, etc.) There are a ton of applications for curved text.
Circle symbolismĭid you know circles represent perfection, wholeness, and timelessness? Whether or not your audience knows that too, elegant curve letters unconsciously influence folks positively for that reason. If you're a circle photo enthusiast, why not pair an already circular shape with curve writing to match? Whether you're adding a border to a LinkedIn profile pic or adding text to an circle pfp on Insta, curve it with complementary colors for a standout shot.Ĭurved text is a perfect way to express yourself in a small-but-mighty social media icon. AKA: circle-ception.Īlright, so you've got the tools down pat, but you might be wondering why curve text at all? Besides the fact that it's just straight-up nice-looking, we'll clue you in on a few answers. Repeat this process until you have a hypnotic overload of circle text. Use your new circle text's bounding box to make it smaller. Right-click and copy (or use these shortcuts). Use the text bounding box to make this first circle B-I-G. Add text, select your font, and type away. This look is easier to achieve than it seems:Ĭlick the T for the Text tab on the left menu.
If you prefer absolute curve inception, go for it! Put text inside of text inside of text inside of.you get it.
