TOUCH TYPE TOOL

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. 

From the type tool menu, choose the last option on the list, the Touch Type tool. 

With the Touch Type tool, click on a letter you want to edit the size, scale and position. 

---

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. 

Each letter can be individually scaled, moved, rotated or scaled to make the letter fit into the overall look of your text.
