Typography

Editable text for labels, posters, paragraphs and paths.

Text is treated as a first-class vector object. SVG Editor supports quick labels, area text, path text, advanced paragraph controls, threaded frames, text wrap and outline conversion.

Point text

Click once to create simple editable text for labels, callouts, logos and quick annotations.

Area type

Drag a frame to create a paragraph box. Area Type Options control frame dimensions, inset spacing and baseline behavior.

Type on a Path

Attach text to a curve and adjust path alignment, flip, spacing and offset with Type on a Path Options.

Skia Paragraph

An alternate area-text engine uses native paragraph layout for Unicode line breaking and justification. It can sit beside classic area text for comparison.

Font menu with live preview

Browse installed Mac fonts with live preview while moving through the menu. Recently Used keeps active families near the top.

Character palette

Control font family, size, leading, tracking and related type metrics with numeric fields for repeatable typography.

Paragraph palette

Align left, center, right, justify and justify all. Paragraph operations apply to selected text ranges where appropriate.

Change case

Convert selected text to UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case or Sentence case without manually retyping it.

Threaded text

Link area text frames so long copy flows from one frame to the next. Create, release or remove threading as the layout changes.

Text wrap

Make area text flow around selected objects, then release the wrap when the story should return to a plain column.

Create Outlines

Convert editable text into vector paths for final logo delivery, print workflows or artwork where font availability cannot be assumed.

Fit Headline

Scale a single-line area text headline so it fills its frame width, useful for poster titles and lockups.
