Art Text is a graphic design app from BeLight Software, made specifically for lettering, typography and artistic text effects on the Mac. Where a full design suite can be overkill for a headline or logo, Art Text focuses on one job: making text look striking. You get hundreds of templates and styles, 3D text tools, materials like gold, chrome and watercolour, and effects such as masks, spray paint and distressed finishes. It is popular for logos, social media graphics, flyers, greetings and website headlines.

Key Features

• Over 400 templates and a large library of styles, fonts and materials
• 2D and 3D text effects, including extrude, bevel and shading controls
• More than 100 shading materials such as metal, chrome and glass
• Effects including masks, spray paint fills and vintage looks
• Exports finished graphics for print, web and social media use

FAQs

Is Art Text only for text?

Text is its focus, but it also works with shapes and imported graphics, and it is often used for complete logo ideas, icons and headline graphics, not just single words.

Can I try it before buying?

BeLight offers a trial version of Art Text from the official site, with some limitations, so you can test the tools before purchasing a licence.
