Stamps fitted to a box

What a document says about itself — DRAFT, COPY, PAID — laid across boxes of four different shapes and scaled to each.

DRAFT, COPY, PAID: the words a document says about itself. A stamp here is scaled to the box it is given rather than set in a fixed size, so the same line stamps a whole page, a table cell or a form field without any text size having to be worked out.

It is turned first and scaled second, and the order matters: what has to fit inside the box is the line as the reader sees it, on the slant, not the horizontal line it was before. The stamp takes whatever colour it is given and nothing else, so if you want it under the page's own ink, simply draw it first.

What this example shows

• One line of text scaled to fill a box of any shape.
• Turned before it is scaled, so the slanted line is what fits.
• The same call stamping a page, a cell and a field.
