Midjourney Prompts for Typography: One-Sentence Definition

Midjourney prompts for typography are short, plain-English instructions that tell MJ what words to show (put them in "double quotes"), what look you want (sans/serif, bold/light), where to place them (poster, sign, package), and how strict to be (keep counters open, no extra strokes). Then you test two or three tiny variations and keep the winner.

Midjourney Prompts for Typography: 5-Minute Quick Start

1. Write your text in quotes
   Example: "MIDNIGHT MARKET" — quotes help MJ lock onto those exact letters.

2. Describe the vibe in plain words
   “clean sans, uppercase, bold, tight spacing, flat color, centered poster, big margins, high legibility, no extra strokes”

3. Add just a few parameters
   --ar 3:4 --stylize 60 --seed 123

   • AR sets shape (poster/story/banner),
   • stylize controls “artsiness,”

4. Run a tiny 2×2 test
   Same text, vary weight (regular vs bold) and texture (flat vs letterpress). Zoom out to phone size and pick the cleanest.

5. Fix one letter if needed
   If one glyph looks off, use Vary Region to edit only that spot instead of starting over.

Midjourney Prompts for Typography: Designer-Lite Checklist

• Legibility first. If it works in grayscale at 50% size, you’re safe.
• Name your layout. “Centered poster with big margins” is enough.
• Keep parameters light. AR, stylize, seed—done.
