Text with ascending baseline

Post by Sundog »

I would like to use this font https://www.behance.net/gallery/1873426 ... -free-font in a Word document. I have downloaded the free Bend One, which unfortunately is not a ribbon font, as an OTF file, and it installs and is pick-able in Word.

If I pay to get Bend Five, how do I set it on an ascending baseline? Put it in a text box and rotate the box?

I don't know if this is possible in Word. Rotating a text box will rotate the text too, so it will not be the same as creating an ascending baseline.
Best wishes,
Hans

Try here https://xfonts.pro/fonts/bend_five for a 'free' version of Bend 5. This should allow you to test it - but I can confirm it works fine in Word in a rotated text box, or Word Art

Thank you for that link! Great to be able to try a font out first.
