  • Text: Randomise letter position or tracking for each letter

    Posted by Matthew Boutros on February 4, 2022 at 12:45 am

    I’m turning a normal font into a handwritten font using a few tricks, and need to do this dynamically to hundreds of titles.

    If I could make the letter height a little random, and subtley spaced randomly I think this would really bring it together but I can’t work it out.

    Thanks in advance!

    After searching for ages I found the answer 30 seconds after posting this!

    Needed to look up the phrase ‘wiggly selector’. Admins please feel free to delete this.

    Defintely shouldn’t delete this thread. It’s great not only that you solved it yourself, but that the came back to share it. Next person struggling now has a solution.

    Would you post a link to the solution and I’d love to see your final result – it sounds cool.

    It’s a good point! I don’t remember which one I learnt it from but this tutorial looks close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN_J1_dlYh4
