<\/span>Type & Fonts<\/span><\/h2>

\nOnce you’ve got your watercolor graphics figured out, it’s time to think about type. You can’t just choose any old font either. In order to really hit that watercolor feel for your type, you need something with a thick, brushed feel. Here are some fonts and lettering packs that nail this aesthetic.\n
