In today’s tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to create isometric carved letters with Inkscape, where it appears as if the letters have been carved into the surface.

I made a similar tutorial back in 2016, but my approach will be different this time. In the previous tutorial we set up an isometric grid and drew each letter/number freehand. This time, we’ll be using a stock font and distorting the desired word/lettering to fit an isometric grid.
