And I'm going to use a typeface here Galliot designed by Matthew Carter. Often, if you know what you're after it's easier to go to the find field and just start typing in the first few characters. So for example, Art Deco would give me these options. I can also browse if I come and click on more fonts by these tags. To change the typeface, I'll come to my font list, I see here all of the fonts that I have activated through Adobe Fonts as well as some others that I've activated independently of Adobe Fonts. This is a famous quote by type designer, Matthew Carter. Once again, I can double tap to select the text that's in there and just before I replace it, I'm going to size it down a bit and now bring back my keyboard and I'll type in my text. I'll now delete that point type text container, choose my type tool again, tap and drag and this will give me an area text container. If I want to bring the y closer to the T, I'll reduce that value. Then on my properties panel, come to the kerning field. I'll need to tap into my text container and insert the cursor between the letter pair that I want to affect, kerning being the adjustment of space between a pair of characters. If I want to adjust the kerning and just before I do that I will set the letter spacing back to what it was. Beneath these, we have the casing options, upper case, small caps, and then underline and strike through. We have size, we have line spacing, not relevant at the moment since I only have a single line, we have kerning and we have tracking or letter spacing. I can also adjust the letter spacing and these options, we will also find over here on the properties panel. I can also use the text size slider on my common task bar which appears beneath the selected text container. With point type, if I want to scale it, I can just drag from any of these handles and that will scale the type proportionally. This will create a point type text container, double tap to select the type that is in it and then replace that with your own. Let's take a quick look at the basic type options that we have in Illustrator for iPad.
