How to use the Retype tool in Adobe Illustrator (Beta)! Do you find it frustrating when you find a font you like on a poster or image but can’t find the name or anything similar? This is where the handy Retype tool comes in! Use it to scan through yours and Adobe’s font libraries to find a perfect match.
Before following the tutorial you will need to have downloaded the beta version of Illustrator. To do this go to your Creative Cloud app and go to Beta Apps in the left-hand menu. Download the Illustrator Beta from there. This will not replace the version you currently have but will open a new version.
- Open your file in Adobe Illustrator Beta
- Click on your file and go to Type > Retype (Beta)
- The Retype palette will then open up. You can then search through a list of similar fonts and even type in the word so you find one that matches the best
We encourage you to experiment with the tool and see what you think! We’d love to see your results on socials. Tag @makeitindesign #makeitindesign.
