To position type on a circle, use what tool?

• A. Warp Text
• B. Text on a Path
• C. Type on a Circle
• D. Type on a Path

Answer: (D)

Positioning type on a circle is about attaching text to a curved path so the letters follow the circle’s contour. The best tool for this is Type on a Path. It lets you create or use a circular path and place text so it hugs the curve, with control over where the text starts, how it sits relative to the path, and how it flows around the circle. This keeps the characters aligned along the edge of the circle and maintains even spacing, which is ideal for circular logos or badges.

Warp Text distorts or bends the text as a whole, but doesn’t attach it to a path, so it won’t reliably follow a circle’s outline. Text on a Path can achieve a similar result in some programs, but the dedicated, standard tool name used to place text along a curve is Type on a Path, which is why it’s the right choice here.
