Scribbles Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hello! I just bought the Vintge Font Bundle! It’s brilliant! But I can’t quite fathom out how to achieve the uphill curvy slant (as seen being used on the Blackriver and Old Alfie fonts). Thankyou!

walt.farrell Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 It's probably done with Path Text (aka Text on a Path). Draw a path with the Pen Tool. Click the path with the Artistic Text Tool. Type your text. For the Old Alfie example my guess is that each word is on its own path, but that may not be required. (Away from PC right now, so can't provide an example.) https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/pages/Text/pathText.html Scribbles 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribbles Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Thanks Walt! I tried that, but it doesn’t slant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribbles Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 I think I’ve worked it out. 🤔 The sheer tool in the character panel seems to be doing the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
