Illustrator homework 8

How can I make the text inset different amnt on all sides? like this? image|370x405 When I do it, the “Bring us to you” is much lower down because I set the inset amount according to the sides…

Also, were other versions of the font used in this flyer? other than the ones uploaded for hmwk? cuz I can’t seem to find same exact… like the “v” from vanilla.
Also (:slight_smile:) what does the “*” next to a font name mean?, and why is the text highlighted in pink when I use it?

Also also also(!!! sorry I’m just so confused!) how can I adjust the width of each column individually? to look like this: image or is there a way to move the “divider” in between?
