Favor short words for narrow letters

Brief words usually give you more options in a letter shape. The A-themed list is just a starting idea: you can use words beginning with any letter. For a personal gift, add the recipient's name or a favorite phrase, then check whether it fits before building the rest of the design around it.

Able, Act, Add and Air are among the smaller words in the sample, with weights from 0.7 to 1.3. Adjust those weights to suit your message. The example permits horizontal and vertical lettering, which can help use narrow spaces, but every word still needs to meet the minimum readable size.

Some letters have much more room than others

The A outline and the block-style B–Z shapes have different widths, gaps and enclosed spaces. A phrase that fits a broad letter may not fit an I. Choose the letter before fine-tuning your list, and generate again after changing it, even if you keep the same seed and settings.

  • Try the example's 200 × 240 mm portrait canvas first.
  • Choose your letter before adding a large supporting list.
  • If a full phrase matters more than the initial, compare it in a wider shape such as a circle.

Leave a margin around your initial

Check the proportions against the frame or page you plan to use. Stretching a narrow letter across a wide rectangle can distort the artwork; choose a new canvas and generate again instead. Keep any names entered for a private gift in the saved project and the file you intend to share.

Download a project JSON when you are happy with the wording and arrangement. Save a separate version for another initial so you can find both designs later. A color change keeps the word positions, while a new seed gives you a fresh arrangement to compare.
