I am trying to create a logo where a text is inside a shape that has holes, but I want it to be within the shape, including the eyes and teeth. The eyes and teeth are just filled white here and the client doesn't want any words missing.

enter image description here

I cannot figure out how to do so. Maybe I can space it in such a way?

  • Make the eyes and mouth only have a stroke and no fill? I am not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want new text that only fits inside the eyes and mouth that is different than the face text?

    You want a logo with such small type? It'll never be readable.

If the shape you are trying to fill is a compound path, use the Knife Tool to make cuts in it so that it is no longer a compound path. Then you can use the Area Type tool by clicking on the path. Then copy and paste some text into it.

    I was writing a much longer answer. :-) This is better. The problem for the OP is that the words are too long to fit in between the eyes and teeth. But this is a quick way to find out.

  • @Wolff - sure, but maybe adding spaces might help. Might not look great though.

  • Thank you so much! Cutting tool might work perfectly for what I am doing. I also remade the spaces and tried to make them wrap with no space and it kinda worked but I will try the cut method too, thank you <3
