Use warichu

The Warichu option in the Character panel decreases the type size of selected text to a percentage of the original and stacks the type—horizontally or vertically, according to the orientation—on multiple lines.

Vertical and horizontal text with warichu

  1. Select text and choose Warichu from the Character panel menu. (Select it again to turn it off.)
  2. Select any of the following warichu settings from the Character panel menu:
    Lines
    Specifies how many lines of text will appear as warichu characters.

    Line Gap
    Determines the distance between the lines of warichu characters.

    Scale
    Sets the size of warichu characters as a percentage of the size of the parent text.

    Alignment
    Specifies the alignment of warichu characters. For example, in a vertical frame grid, selecting Top will align the beginning of the warichu characters at the top of the frame. The alignment proxy shows how the warichu text appears relative to the parent text.

    Line Breaking Options
    Specifies the minimum number of characters required before and after the line breaks to start a new line.
