[@cathjimin]

i tried and the letters go crazy into my shape, they dont take the shape :(

[@corpzzz2393]

SAME WHY THO

[@l.j.a.]

what i worked out is if you rotate the shape so it's longest sides are parallel to the text (without the text having any rotation), then do the make to top object and rotate it back it should be ok! i know i haven't described it the best so I can explain more if needed!

[@yell1n656]

Whats the font used?
