In one example, a graphics processing unit may use an optimized geometric realization to render a text shape as a scalable geometry. The graphics processing unit may generate an inner geometry for a text shape. The graphics processing unit also may generate a tessellated edge geometry abutting the inner geometry for an edge of the text shape. The graphics processing unit further may assign a coverage gradient to the tessellated edge geometry to create an anti-aliased edge for the text shape.
