Procreate Text and Typography 3

Question 1

What does 'Kerning' control in Procreate's text formatting options?

Accepted Answer

The spacing adjustment between specific pairs of characters

Answer

Kerning allows you to adjust the spacing between a specific pair of characters by placing your cursor between them, fine-tuning readability for particular letter combinations.

Question 2

Can you change the font of a text layer after it has been rasterized in Procreate?

Accepted Answer

No, rasterizing permanently converts text to pixels

Answer

Rasterizing is a one-way conversion: the text becomes a pixel layer and the font, size, and content can no longer be changed through the text editor.

Question 3

What is the most common workflow to place text along a curved path in Procreate?

Accepted Answer

Rasterize the text and use the Warp transform option to bend it

Answer

Procreate doesn't have native text-on-path functionality, so the standard approach is to rasterize the text and use the Warp transform mode to manually bend or arc the letters.

Question 4

How do you install a custom font in Procreate?

Accepted Answer

Download a .ttf or .otf file and open or share it to Procreate via the Files app

Answer

You install custom fonts by sharing or opening a .ttf or .otf file with Procreate through the iOS Files app or a share sheet, which adds it to the font library.

Question 5

Which Procreate adjustment creates a soft glow effect around rasterized text?

Accepted Answer

Bloom

Answer

The Bloom adjustment (found under Adjustments) creates a soft, luminous glow emanating from bright areas, making it ideal for a glowing text effect.
