Swashes are ornamental strokes that extend beyond the normal width of a font. They’re used to add flare and style to headings and titles. In Canva, you can access swashes through the following steps:

First, open up the Text tool and click on the T icon.

Click on the text box that you want to edit and start typing your text.

Once you’ve typed out your text, highlight the portion that you want to add a swash to.

PRO TIP: This article provides instructions on how to use swashes in Font Canva, but does not offer any warnings about doing so. Swashes are decorative flourishes that can be added to letters, and while they can add a touch of elegance to a design, they can also make a design look cluttered and busy. Use swashes sparingly, and be sure to proofread your work carefully afterwards to ensure that the swashes don’t interfere with the readability of your text.

Click on the Swash tab in the Text Settings window.

Click on the drop-down menu under Swash and select the swash that you want to apply to your text.

Click on Apply to save your changes.

In Canva, adding a swash to your text is a quick and easy way to add some flair and style. By following the steps above, you can easily add a swash to any portion of your text.
