Random
This effect randomly shifts a glyph’s nodes. It is especially interesting when
combined with other effects, like Gradient:
You can control how much the nodes are shifted. You can set the same
value for both directions if the Proportional offset option is on or you can
customize the values separately.
Envelope
This last effect lets you apply one of many predefined transformations to
several glyphs at once. Refer to the “Glyph Window” chapter for more
information about the Envelope effect. Here is an example of what you can
do with this effect:
Arial font after “circle” envelope with -30% Force value
The Randomize option applies some random changes to the effect to make
an even more interesting result.
