Read the full guide

Fifteen designs to copy

Fills: Candy stripes, Halftone dots, Rainbow, Sunset fade and Two-colour fade. Shine: Gold, Chrome, Ice and Neon glow. Depth: Long shadow, 3D block and Sticker. Edges: Outline, Spiky outline and Chalk dust. Under More options, two of the eight font tiles carry a design of their own: Bungee Inline has a line inside every stroke and Bungee Shade its own shadow.

Fancy block letters on paper

Stripes and dots are drawn inside a finished outline, so draw the letter first. A shadow is the same letter drawn again a little down and to the right. Under More options, Strength of the look sets how wide the stripes and how deep the shadow.

  • Bungee, Rubik Mono One and Graduate draw capitals only, whatever you type.
  • Gold, Chrome and Ice bring their own colors; Rainbow and Sunset fade take only their rim from Colours.

Questions and answers

What are some block letter designs I can draw?

Fifteen are in the Look menu here. Stripes, dots, an outline and a two-color fade are each one step added to a plain letter. Pick each in turn to see it on your word.

How do I get empty letters to color in?

Set Look to Outline, then open More options and set Colours to Colour-in outline: the letters turn white with a black rim. Once you have typed a word, Print puts them on paper.

Which block fonts does the page use?

Eight: Archivo Black, Bungee, Rubik Mono One, Titan One, Graduate, Dela Gothic One, Bungee Inline and Bungee Shade. Graduate is the college style with slab serifs; Titan One is the roundest.

Can I save a design?

Yes. Once you type, Download picture (PNG) saves the board, Download SVG a file that stays sharp at any size, and Print sends it to paper. Share link opens this exact design again.
