3 steps

  1. STEP 1 · SET A WORD, BIGTake Type (T), click the canvas and set one strong word. On desktop the whole kit docks in the panel · the Echo, Shadow and Press rows are the letterpress floor.
  2. STEP 2 · PRINT WITH INTENTEcho slides the print behind itself in two alternating inks. Shadow throws the woodtype block shadow. Inline (Style row) runs a paper line inside each letter. Slip misregisters the fill off its outline · the riso move. Wobble hand-sets the letters from a worn case. Everything re-edits forever.
  3. STEP 3 · LET THE LETTERS CUTStack the word over an image and press ✂ Glyph cut in the TYPE panel · everything beneath prints into a new piece shaped exactly like the words. Cut a letter out of anything.
