Hi there !

I'd like to replicate the contour of old letters in old books, such as in this font. 

Is it possible to apply that to a line or an icon ?


Thank you very much for your time !

- make a new layer (transparent)
- type a text (200 high)
- select / select by color
- select / to path
- select / none
- make a new transparent layer
- make this layer active
- paintbrush tool
- choose a brush (try Acylic 05 / size 10 / spacing 12 / Dynamics Random)
- stroke path / stroke with paint tool
- mode Color erase

Use different brush, different spacing, etc... for satisfactory results

Thank you very much for you answers, I'm going to try all that !
