Text examples

Real renders of the curved title text — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Arched name over cover art

A personalised picture-book title arched across the top of the cover.

API overrides for this example
{
  "title.text": "THE ADVENTURES OF MIA",
  "title.fontSize": 40,
  "title.fontWeight": 800,
  "title.color": "#ffffff",
  "title.textAlignment": "center",
  "title.verticalAlignment": "top",
  "title.textTransform": "uppercase",
  "title.curve": 50,
  "title.textOutlines": [
    {
      "width": 6,
      "color": "#2F3E46"
    }
  ]
}

Smile-curved subtitle

The child’s full name curving downwards under a cover illustration.

API overrides for this example
{
  "title.text": "Charlotte Taylor",
  "title.fontSize": 44,
  "title.fontWeight": 800,
  "title.color": "#ffffff",
  "title.textAlignment": "center",
  "title.verticalAlignment": "top",
  "title.textTransform": "none",
  "title.curve": -40,
  "title.textOutlines": [
    {
      "width": 6,
      "color": "#2F3E46"
    }
  ]
}

When to use the curved title style

  • Personalised children’s book covers with the child’s name arched over the artwork
  • Badges, seals and stamps where the copy follows the circle
  • Event and festival posters with a rainbow headline

Use it dynamically via the API

Override the copy per render with '<key>.text' (or just '<key>' for the primary text value), plus '<key>.color' and background/stroke colors for styling.

Full API request with this variant's current values — the playground above sends only the properties you change
curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "title.text": "WHERE ARE YOU CHARLOTTE?",
    "title.fontSize": 40,
    "title.fontFamily": "Inter",
    "title.fontWeight": 800,
    "title.color": "#ffffff",
    "title.textAlignment": "center",
    "title.verticalAlignment": "top",
    "title.lineHeight": 1.2,
    "title.opacity": 1,
    "title.textTransform": "uppercase",
    "title.curve": 45,
    "title.textOutlines": [
        {
            "width": 6,
            "color": "#2F3E46"
        }
    ]
}'

Only send the properties you want to change — everything else keeps its design value. See the API documentation for all languages.
