3 steps

1. STEP 1 · ONE LETTER, ENORMOUSTake Type (T) and set a single letter at 500px or more · let it hang off the page, the crop is free. A magazine-opener manner: the glyph IS the layout.
2. STEP 2 · CUT IT LOOSERight-click the letter → ⟡ Trace edge → path. The letterform becomes live pen anchors · corners where the edge turns hard, smooth curves where it flows. Drag points, pull grips, ⌥drag a grip to break a cusp and stretch the tail. ⬢ fills your sculpted letter as a shape.
3. STEP 3 · WORDS WALK THE LETTERThe traced path is banked in ▤ Paths. Take Type, set Flow to ∿ Path, and a small line of copy runs along the glyph’s own curve · the magazine-opener move, in the browser.
