Fonts!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I appreciate fonts most when they complement the design. No matter how flashy or off-the-wall, a font is there to suit the words. It can be a supportive player, or the main attraction. And, our expert artists have become personal font stylists for you by dividing our selection into 12 categories. Each has its own unique character and style and you can think of these font categories  as your new favorite places to shop.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few quick ideas for how to use the various font types featured above.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Celtic<\/strong> fonts are perfect for <a title=\"Pub Crawl T-Shirts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.customink.com\/events\/bar-supplies.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pub Crawls<\/a>, <a title=\"St. Patrick's Day T-Shirts\" href=\"http:\/\/www.customink.com\/events\/st-patricks-day-t-shirt.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/a>, or anything from the Emerald Isle!<\/li>\n<li>Into Sports?! Whether you\u2019re Varsity or JV, for an old-school athletic look, try <strong>College<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eroded <\/strong>fonts are busted and deconstructed for an industrial rough feel.<\/li>\n<li> Looking to the future? <strong>Modern <\/strong>fonts have everything from streamlined to sci-fi.<\/li>\n<li> Thinking of old maps, money, and the Wild West? Try <strong>Old World<\/strong> fonts!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Font selection is only part of successfully using fonts in your artwork. When working with fonts, take four important design aspects into consideration; size, placement, color, and angle.<\/p>\n<p>Try mixing up the size and placement of the text, move it around using the Design Lab to find something dynamic. Choose bright colors that contrast with the shirt color. Finally, use the angle tool to tilt your text. It directs the eye and makes your design more interesting.  Try mixing up the fonts in your next design!<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a title=\"Text on T-Shirts Videos\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.customink.com\/video\/?category=sort-text#adding-tails\" target=\"_blank\">these awesome videos<\/a> from Kat to learn more about making text an active part of your design.
