Type on a curve.
Use the mouse to draw around objects on the screen and have your text lock to the baseline that you create. Typing on a curve, or on the edge of a logo was never so easy. Since the baseline is dynamic, it can be changed even after youre done typing. The text will update to the new position automatically.

Control the thickness, angle, hard or soft edge and degree of transparency. Find and replace tools means updating graphics is a snap!

Unlimited layering means maximum control over your text and graphic placement. Unlimited levels of undo means having the flexibility to experiment.
Bring in company logos or images as a custom typeface.
