what a good timing as i just bought both grid and letter builders. great to have the creator Ian showing how to use them, and i definitely pick up some new ideas. Also applause to Ian for going thru the details!
Great video! I purchased the grid and letter builder a while ago and wasn’t sure how to use them, but this has helped greatly. Can’t wait to get started!
This helped me SO MUCH. I bought the grid & letter builder several months back and got stuck :) Now I know what I did wrong - I stopped too soon lol Thanks for making this helpful video!
We're really sorry to hear that you felt a little stuck Holly, however it is awesome that this video helped give you new tips and motivation to get back into it :).
Hey there, thanks for commenting! The great news is that we have a huge collection of fonts that are perfect for lettering projects, however it would depend on what design software you are working in. This particular tutorial was created using Procreate to showcase how you can use the Grid Builder to help with hand-lettering, however unfortunately Procreate does not support Open Type font features (such as flourishes and other stylistic alternates). If you are at all unsure which resources will work best with your preferred design software, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will be happy to help point you in the right direction of products that we feel may be a perfect fit :).
Hey Browse the Best, Thanks for getting back to us and I can certainly answer your query now. What may be of use to you for your planned designs, would be some of our stamp brushes. I have just popped a link to a pack of flourish stamps for you to check out: bit.ly/3x0I78N
As the Grid Builder is mainly intended for hand-drawn lettering, Ian, the designer has not included instructions for working with this one using typed text. However, to use this one with typed text, you can transform your text into a smart layer and use the grids to organise your layout, and should help you manipulate your text easier, and more creatively than simply adjusting the text box. Just in case you are unsure how to turn your text into smart objects, I have popped in a link to a tutorial below that should be able to help further on this :) s.designcuts.com/text-distort
I purchased the Grid and Letter builder a while back and couldn’t figure out how to use it - this helped me figure it all out :-)

Hi, does the grid builder work with Affinity Designer please?
Hey Ray, the great news is that Ian has provided files specifically for Affinity Designer so you can certainly work with it :).
I just want to type letters instead of handwrite them. Is this possible?
