Abstract: Systems and methods for visually rendering a set of characters in a visual design are disclosed. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may determine a position for a character sizing box within a container element of the visual design. Further, the electronic device may determine a placement location for a set of characters within the character sizing box. Additionally, the electronic device may generate and display a visual rendering of the visual design that may comprise the set of characters within the character sizing box which is positioned within the container element, where the visual rendering may comprise additional content positioned relative to the set of characters according to a layout format.
