602 Creating dynamic inlines using Offset Path

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now, you may recall,…we've been working on this inline font effect right here,…and you may also recall that I promised…that we would spend five episodes…over three weeks on it.…And guess what?…Today is that fifth episode on that third week,…and we're going to create an automated variation…on this effect.…Now I had ruled out using offset path,…because it delivers this ugly effect here.…But then I noodled over it,…and I thought, "Wait a sec.…"What is we throw in not just the fill,…"but also a stroke?"…And we change out to a different font.…

We can achieve this entirely dynamic,…editable effect right here.…Here.…Let me show you exactly how it works.…Alright, so here I am looking at some live, editable text…that's set in the font Penumbra Sans.…Now obviously, it's unlikely…that you have that same font installed on your system.…In which case,…what you might want to do is go up to the Type menu…and choose Add Fonts from Typekit,…if that command is available to you.…
