Add text and style it
Crevano ships with 22 typefaces and six text effects, including the same die-cut sticker edge the built-in phrases use, so your own words can sit on the page looking like they belong with the rest.
Add a text block
- Click Text in the left rail.
- Click Add a heading, Add a subheading or Add body text. They come in at 34pt, 20pt and 12pt, in Anton, Jost and Inter — all changeable.
- The new block lands inside your margins with placeholder words in it, already selected.
- Double-click it and type. Click anywhere else when you are done.
Style it
Select the text and use the Text group in the toolbar.
| Control | Does | |---|---| | Font | 22 typefaces, grouped from plain sans through editorial serifs to poster faces and scripts | | Size | The number is in pixels at this page's print resolution, not points. Type a number or use the arrows | | Colour | A colour picker | | Align | Left, centre, right | | Indent | First-line indent, in inches. Negative values pull the first line out | | B / I / ◌ | Bold, italic, and the sticker outline — the white die-cut halo | | Opacity | The slider further along the toolbar |
You can also right-click any text to get font, size, colour, bold, italic, outline and Edit text in one small panel, without hunting along the toolbar.
Effects
- Select the text on the page first — effects apply to what is selected.
- Click Text in the left rail and pick a chip under Effects.
| Effect | Extra controls | |---|---| | Drop shadow | Shadow depth slider | | Outer glow | Glow colour | | Inner glow | — | | Gradient | Two colours | | Sticker cut | — | | Plain | Clears the others |
> Note > Several of the display and script faces — Anton, Bebas Neue, Pacifico, Parisienne, > Yellowtail — ship in one weight only. Turning Bold on for those makes the browser fake > it, and it smears. If you want heavier, pick a heavier face: Archivo Black or Anton rather > than a bolded script.
