Join Tony Harmer for an in-depth discussion in this video The Touch-Type tool, part of Illustrator CC 2018 Essential Training.
- [Instructor] Earlier on in this chapter,…I mentioned a way that was perhaps a bit more interactive…for you to change things like baseline shift…and character rotation, and even things like kerning.…And that's what we're going to do in this movie.…Just going to zoom in on this headline,…which is using a font from Typekit…that I synchronized earlier on in this chapter.…You could use anything of your own of course…if you're not mad for this one.…In fact, I think I've got an alternate for this…that I synced as well.…
