• Font Effects – Apply effects such as 3D, patterned text, and more.
• Font Size – Adjust the text size to fit your design.
• Line Spacing – Modify spacing between lines for multi-line text.
• Text Alignment – Align text left, center, or right.
• Text Casing– Change between uppercase, lowercase, and title case.
• Text Color – Select a color that complements your design.
• Text Background Color– Add a background color behind the text (useful for increasing contrast between cover image and text).
• Layer Positioning – Adjust the depth of text layers, useful for overlapping text and images.

To modify text styling for your front cover design, simply click on the text element on your front cover. The Text Formatting tab will appear, allowing you to apply these adjustments.
