The Touch type Tool in Illustrator is a tool that many people have no idea exists. It is very cool to be able to adjust each character while the text is live text and not outlined. Check it out.

To start, set some type using any of the type tools. Do not outline the type, the Touch Type tool works on active type only. 
Picture
From the type tool menu, choose the last option on the list, the Touch Type tool. 
Picture
With the Touch Type tool, click on a letter you want to edit the size, scale and position. 

Picture
When you click on the letter, there are 5 points to click on and change the letter. Click on the corresponding point to scale, rotate or move the letter. 
Picture
Each letter can be individually scaled, moved, rotated or scaled to make the letter fit into the overall look of your text.

This typeface is Marydale-Regular which is available on the www.fonts.adobe.com website or through your text menu in Illustrator by clicking on the Find More section at the top of your font menu to add fonts.. Using the Touch Type tool you can move, scale, position any character of active type and create a dynamic look with your text.
