Creating Line Thickness for Typography Design in Adobe Illustrator CC

After we learned about creating a logo, it is time for stepping to another type of design, typography. The design is referred to as typing-style similar to hand-writing. Some designers using scan and trace technique. They scan typography from a picture or photo by using a scanner. Actually, you can create a typography design by using the letter thickness feature in Adobe Illustrator.

In this article, we will create a typography design by line thickness method in Adobe Illustrator CC. First, we have to write alphabets manually using a mouse or pen tab.

By using the pen tool, we can work faster and tidy to create a letter line. Besides, you can also use the pencil tool and brush tool as long as you can create a line. Then, tidy up your letter to make it easy to edit.

After that, you should manage the line thickness. In Adobe Illustrator, there is a tool named Width Tool like the shape below.

Click the tool, and then set its thickness as you want.

We can manage the line thickness right by using the stroke menu. You can change its setting as your wish from a thick line to bold in some points in the line. Do double clicks in the line you want to give thickness, manage it based on your creativity.

Here, I activate “adjust width proportionally” by click paperclip icon.

Then, manage the thickness for the bold line to 12 pt or pixel and thick line to 3 pt. This is the easy way to create a typography design. If you have mastered this technique, it should be easier and better than typography by hand.

You can add background to your artwork after finished.
