What is the correct term/algorithm for interactive curved text deformation?
09:55 10 May 2026

I’m trying to build a custom text warp editor in React-Konva but I honestly don’t even know the correct keyword/terminology to start researching.

The effect I want is similar to the attached image:

  • text follows a curved bezier baseline

  • glyph spacing stays visually consistent

  • letters deform smoothly along the curve

  • no overlapping between glyphs

  • realtime interactive dragging with bezier handles

Is there a specific term for this kind of feature/algorithm?
