G13RL Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Duplicate the word "because", invert colours, "convert to Curves", "Ungroup", "Add" and set the blend to "Erase". Piyushcr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiWe Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The 'because' can even stay text ... - copy text to clipboard - apply stroke to the remaining word defining the gap between the two words - set blend mode to 'erase' - now paste text The andvantage is whenever you change the word 'because' you do it twice and do not have to repeat the steps above.

Greetings One final step would be to group the text so the erase blend mode doesn’t also erase the background. I’m assuming all of the suggestions are done in Affinity Designer? Text not grouped and the erase blend mode set, it burns through all layers. Text grouped preventing the erase blend mode from burning through the background/texture.

Manually subtracting the "gap" will preserve the vectors. Good to know ... Maybe blend mode erase will someday be updated to preserve vectors.
