🧰 About the Tools Used

This demo uses inline SVG markup, the textPath element, href attributes, and core CSS styles like text-anchor and font-size. Vector paths are created and exported from Adobe Illustrator, but any SVG-capable editor will work. The technique results in scalable, editable, and fully indexable text graphics that adapt to varying content and screen sizes.
