If you control type, you control attention. In this lesson, you’ll get hands-on with Affinity’s type tools and learn how to shape, refine, and control text for maximum impact.

Using an editorial design by artist Isabela Humphrey as your foundation, you’ll work with frame text, artistic text, and tables to build flexible layouts. We’ll then show you how to align and distribute elements with precision, adjust leading, tracking, and kerning for stronger legibility, and experiment with variable fonts for more granular control.
