Text properties
Format text, callouts, and labels.
Text entities — from the Text tool and Callout tool — expose typography controls.
- Font — ten bundled families in three groups. Standard: Arimo (the default; stands in for Arial and Helvetica), Tinos (Times New Roman), Cousine (Courier), Archivo Narrow (Arial Narrow). Drafting: osifont (ISO 3098 lettering) and Architects Daughter (hand lettering), neither with bold or italic. General: Inter, Barlow, IBM Plex Mono, and Noto Sans, which also draws any character another font lacks. Licenses: Open-source licenses.
- Size — text height.
- Alignment — left, center, or right.
- Color — text color.
Note
Vellum renders text with real font metrics, so it stays crisp at any zoom and exports cleanly.
