In this case, I went with a font called “Wicked Grit” which I download and installed as a third-party font (in other words, this font does not come with Inkscape by default).

Clicking this icon will open the Text and Fonts dialogue (green arrow). Next, I’ll access the Text and Font dialogue via the Commands bar icon (red arrow in the above image) on the right-hand side of the Inkscape user interface. To do this, I’ll start by clicking on the Selection tool from the Toolbox (which you can also activate by using the F1 shortcut key – denoted by the red arrow in the photo above) and will click and drag my mouse over both lines of text.

For my first line of text, I just went with “Easily Wrap Text.” I’ll then type my first line of text (we will have two lines of text total – one line going around the top of the circle and the other line going around the bottom of the circle). Next, I’ll click anywhere on my Inkscape canvas to start a line of text (red arrow in the photo above). I’ll start this process off by grabbing my Text tool from the Toolbox (red arrow in the above image) on the left-hand side of the Inkscape user interface (you can also hit F8 on your keyboard to access this tool).
