Concept
To help controlling 21 layers of History typeface, we offer an online application History Remixer. Instead of controlling text separately for each layer, there is a single text entry and you control which layers will be turned on or off, can colour them, and generate a high resolution PDF.

Choose column width
To work with multiple lines of text, you need to control the text column. Click with your mouse on the ruler to visually select the width of the column. Or type a number into the text column field. Width of the column is measured in centimeters, the working area is 21 centimeters wide (width of the A4 sheet). History remixer doesn't support hyphenation of text, so you will need to play to choose the right point size and column size so the text is not clipped. Alternatively, you can just hit ENTER on your keayboard into text field to start a new line.

Layers order
You might want to change the order of layers, for example to have a certain layer on top, rather than on the bottom. Just drag the layer you intend to reposition, and drop it on the new position. The top of the list indicates top layer.

Getting PDFs
History Remixer is an application that helps licensed users to control the 21 fonts. You need to get a license for the fonts first to have an option to generate PDF. Without the license, you will only see rough preview. Licensed users will get vector PDF, which they can directly use, or edit in software such Adobe Illustrator®.

Random choices
With History Remixer you can control many different design parameters, and get thousands of unique samples. If you don't want to think about all these choices, just choose options Random Layers and/or Random Colours, and History Remixer will choose it for you.
