Where Shadows Into Light Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Shadows Into Light when they're making greeting cards, journal pages and friendly social posts. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Set it a bit larger than you would a normal text font. Handwriting styles lose their charm once they get too small to read comfortably.
