The technique you are about to learn is the way I curve all my text.

I've seen various methods in other tutorials. None of them are as flexible and expressive as the following technique. With this method you can create any style curve you want - simple 'U' curves, wavy curves, circular curves - anything. If you do not have Inkscape installed on your machine, go to their website ( ) and download it from there. I do not recommend downloading it from any other place. Make sure you get the latest version by always using the official site. Open up Inkscape, and start a brand new file.ġ. Create a starting point for the guideline. Click once on the canvas to create the starting point for the guideline. We are going to be making a V-shaped, three node bezier curve.You can press the button on the left toolbar, or you can press Shift+F6.

Click two more times and create two more nodes for the guideline. You are creating the starting point for how your curve is going to look.That sounds kind of fancy, but it's only three clicks. Press Enter to finish making the bezier curve.We will be tweaking it from here to get exactly the kind of curve you want. If your guideline is filled in and it looks more like a triangle than a line, you need to get rid of the "fill color". You can do this from the "Text and Font" tab.
