Generating text-bearing images requires coherent scenes and accurate characters. Large text-to-image models improve both capabilities through repeated denoising, at substantial sampling cost. Few-step distillation reduces this cost but requires the student to organize scenes and refine glyphs within a short trajectory. We present a four-step distillation framework combining local response regularization with teacher-guided text training. Built on distribution matching, the framework distills the GLM-Image DiT while retaining its autoregressive visual prior, glyph encoder, and VAE. A path-length penalty promotes consistent local responses of the conditional denoising field. Progressive training combines synthetic strings with teacher-generated imagery to preserve character accuracy and scene-integrated typography. The student achieves GenEval Overall 0.84 and CVTG-2K word accuracy 0.5045, compared with 0.81 and 0.1690 for four-step TDM. A coefficient study favors $10^{-5}$, and Qwen-Image experiments show additional gains from response regularization and text supervision. Single-image inference takes 1.742 s, compared with 5.818 s for the teacher, yielding a $3.34\times$ speedup at the same 40 GB GPU memory requirement.
