hi there,

I’ve started using Penpot recently, and I’m trying to understand if it’s possible to put text along a path, so you can have text follow the curve of a circle around an object.

If it helps, I’m talking about this effect here listed with affinity designer:

Thanks

For what it’s worth, I think this person here is asking the same question:

> [@Make able to follow the text a curve, not text as a path, but at least to follow](https://community.penpot.app/t/make-able-to-follow-the-text-a-curve-not-text-as-a-path-but-at-least-to-follow/4288):

> With your new text, still selected, click “Format” on the main Word ribbon. add a Text Effects" button. Click “Transform” on the drop-down menu. To get your text to follow a curved path, you’ll want to select one of the options from the "Follow path" section of the menu.

Hi @mrchrisadams,

This has already been added to our backlog to be considered in the future, though it hasn’t been prioritized yet. You can find the details here: [Taiga](https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/issue/2018)
