Text art elements are used for adding vector based text to the document, allowing to design the text’s path, fill, outline, and shadow. The textual content of text art elements can be edited via <Text>.
To insert a text art element, use Basic Elements > Text Art, and select any text art preset. Each of the presets can be completely customized after it’s added to the document.
