Adding and styling text
The text tool is one of the most-used tools in Print Studio.
Add a text frame
- Press T or pick the Text tool in the toolbar.
- Click and drag on the canvas to draw a frame. Click without dragging to add a single-line text object that auto-sizes.
- Type your text. The frame grows vertically as you type.
Style controls
The Properties panel on the right shows typography controls when a text frame is selected:
- Font family — choose from the loaded font set.
- Size — point size. 1 pt = 0.353 mm.
- Weight — Regular, Medium, Bold. Variable fonts expose a continuous weight slider when available.
- Leading — line spacing in points. Default 1.2x size.
- Tracking — letter spacing in 1/1000 em.
- Alignment — left, centre, right, justified.
- Colour — single fill. Outline text mode exposes a stroke colour and width.
Type on path
Pick the Path text tool, then click on a path. The text follows the path direction. Drag the start/end handles to control which segment is filled with text.
Keyboard shortcuts
