Curved text

[Tom]

Hi, I am new to Inkscape and was wondering how I can create a curved text like in the attached examples.

Like in the old songs and melodies poster where the bottom of the text follows a curve and the top of the word follows a straight line.

Or like the word revival in the example below, where the word follows a unique curve ... top and bottom.

Welcome to the forum!

You can do that using a special extension, which does not come installed with Inkscape.  It's called Bezier Envelope extension, and you can find it here:  https://github.com/shlomif/Bezier-Envelope-for-Inkscape

This FAQ explains how to install it:  https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#how-install-new-extensions-palettes-document-templates-symbol-sets-icon-sets-etc

You can draw the shape which you want the text to follow.  Or else on this webpage, you can find a file of shapes which are already drawn for you.  http://cleversomeday.com/textwarpink/
