I hope you are doing very well.

Thank you very much for your consideration and time.

Hi Ali,
For doing this you will need a DTP Software, like InDesign or Illustartor from Adobe.

Dear Ali,
I may input that the core idea of different wording you may find (curves, outline...etc) is to convert text to vector shapes using a special software such as Adobe Illustrator, Corel...etc.
Kind regards
