Step by step
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
