Excellent! Glad this was able to help!

I’m trying to do this with an N, it has good anchor points but struggling to apply the process. I can’t stop changing the size of the angled portion in the middle. Any tips?

The letter N can be tricky. What font are you using? Once I know, I'll see what I can do with it and get back to you.

Source sans pro. Capital ‘N’

One thing I thought of and will try later is to make a reference box for the width of the angled section before I start. Stretch the top row of anchor points, then same at bottom, then reposition bottom corner until it matches the reference box width and same for top (if that makes sense?)…that’s what I will try when I’m home later.

Ok, here's what I did and it's the only way that it looks fairly decent: 1. Type 'N' 2. Go to Type > Create Outlines 3. Go to the Transform panel, uncheck 'Constrain Width & Height Proportions' 4. Selected the top/middle reference point. 5. Entered 'x2' on the height. This stretched the N, keeping all anchor points intact. This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but when I tried manipulating the anchor points individually, I wasn't able to get them to line up without it looking janky. Your solution of making a reference box could work, but this font's N has some anchor points in crazy, random spots. You'd have to play with it until you figure out exactly which anchor points should be edited in pairs. Source Sans is a cool font, but those weird anchor points can make this kind of thing a headache! Let me know if you come up with a solution!

How do you strech a "O" that is a perfect circle? where there is only 4 anchor points ?

Stretching letters is all about finding the right font. If the 'O' is a perfect circle, maybe try using a zero instead. It might have more anchor points.

very useful hank you. Would love to have a more extensive tutorial on this
