The giant glyph · one huge letter as the layout
Set one enormous letter, trace it into a shape you can sculpt, then run small type along its own curve · the magazine-opener move, in the browser.
Step by step
One letter, enormous
Set a single letter at 500px or more and let it hang off the page · the crop is free, and the glyph becomes the layout.
Cut it loose
Trace the letter edge to a path. The letterform becomes live anchors · corners where it turns hard, smooth curves where it flows. Fill your sculpted letter as a shape.
Words walk the letter
The traced path is banked with your paths. Take Type, set the flow to a path, and a small line of copy runs along the glyph curve.
