It may be a copywriter’s job to create incredible copy and make brands stand out. But designers can take written language to a new level by leveraging text layouts. And Kittl is the perfect online tool to help you take your typography to the next level.

The editor grants complete creative freedom, whether you want to use handwriting, modern layouts, or contrast the text with an image. You’re free to form excellent text layouts and enhance words with gorgeous graphics to make your next project the best one yet.

Use your own artistic principles to find the best balance, and don’t worry about needing to draw anything by hand. The premade text layouts and fonts will help you use unique spacing to improve readability. Transform written words into interesting visual messages that evoke powerful feelings.

Do you want to make your text stand out and define your brand? Kittl lets any user make memorable text layouts in three simple steps.

1. Play with presets

Not every project can use the same text layout and style. Different text features, letters, spacing, and other details matter when trying to stick to a particular theme. That’s why the Kittl text presets are a great way to enhance the written content on logos images, cards, posters, T-shirts, and other designs. All it takes is clicking the text button, finding a relevant preset, and drag ’n’ drop it onto your on-screen project page.

2. Add effects and decorate your text

While you can use Kittl text presets and layouts as they are, there’s nothing wrong with adding a personal touch. Feel free to add shading, decorations, use a different font, and make adjustments to create something you can call your own. A well-organized layout that conforms to the project specifications is a great way to enhance traditional or modern text designs.

3. Find the best templates for text-heavy layouts

Have you ever wanted to design vintage logos, retro posters, modern business cards, or other very niche designs? Everything your brand needs can be found in the Kittl template library. You can use the premade templates to figure out how to arrange your text and other images. It’s the best way to fit a complex phrase on one line, balance colors and photos, and meet reader expectations.

Drag ’n’ drop the text layout to boost productivity

Working with text can be time-consuming. Unlike other images, written content elements may need additional tweaks when it comes to style, spacing, and positioning. Thus, the drag ’n’ drop feature is vital for speeding up your design process and simplifying various actions and commands in the editor. Kittl lets you accomplish a lot with one click.

Upload your own imagery or SVG text

The Kittl text layout library is massive. But you aren’t restricted to Kittl or the community-designed text patterns and fonts. You can add custom SVG text elements to your project if you already have something specific in mind. And thanks to the editor’s ease of use, you can polish your project quickly and fill in any gaps it might have.

Easy and accessible download options to turn a Kittl project into a business card.

Download your text for print applications

Many text projects are designed to be printed. Whether it’s business cards or T-shirts, Kittl has an export file format fit for every occasion. For instance, you can download your text layouts as SVG and PDF files. These are exceptional in any print-on-demand type of application because of the amazing scalability that won’t alter the final product’s image quality. Hence, Kittl is a must-have solution for putting your text art to good use and monetizing it.
