Path-text orientation.

Choose how glyphs orient along a curve.

Choose whether path text stays upright or turns with the curve. The upper phrase keeps vertical letterforms while the lower phrase follows the changing tangent. Both the path and glyph-orientation setting remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. On Charcoal, place two broad rising cubic arcs. Set “Stay upright.” along the upper arc with perpendicularToPath=false, keeping every glyph vertical while its baseline follows the curve. Set “Follow the curve.” on the lower arc with perpendicularToPath=true, so letters turn with the tangent. Use 102 px Bone Exposure, thin Sky/Sea traces, and slow first-margin movement. Ensure both phrases remain comfortably on screen from entrance through final hold.

Read the prompt

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
