Typography, directly on the canvas.

On-canvas typography

  • Adjust size, tracking, pair kerning, leading and baseline with a compact floating control beside your text.
  • Hover the parameter name to switch controls, or scroll over it to cycle through them.
  • Drag the slider or type an exact value, with the unit shown beside it.
  • Adjust weight, width and slant when your variable font supports those axes.
  • Align text left, center or right without leaving the canvas.
  • Use familiar keyboard shortcuts for size, tracking, kerning, leading and baseline. Your caret and text selection stay in place.
  • Each slider drag is one Undo step. Press Escape during a drag to restore its starting value.

Live text properties

  • Edit selected text directly in Properties, including with the Move tool active.
  • Font, color, spacing, alignment and text-frame changes appear immediately, without a Done step.
  • Alignment uses left, center and right icons in both Properties and the floating control.
  • The floating control follows the app’s theme and keeps a consistent layout as you switch parameters.

A smoother editing flow

  • Click outside the text frame to finish editing and return to Move, without creating an empty text layer.
  • Switching layers keeps your text edits on the original layer.
  • Paragraph leading remains editable after saving and reopening a project, and carries through exports.

Requirements: Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later. Canvas assistants use an installed, signed-in ChatGPT or Claude CLI.
