It would have been nice if the verticals on the letters lined up, but they don&#8217;t in this phrase. A non-proportional font was one option, but I ended up with this. The blocky serifs seemed to help integrate them. Then I learned how to use the Layer Style to adjust the bevel(?) direction. Although there is no bevel. The bevel setting is pushed to the maximum. <\/p>\n<p>The y is a separate type layer because I didn&#8217;t want the hanging descender. So the y is resized to fit the line. Also adjusted the bevel direction on the y to help it fit the flow. It&#8217;s got a little too much light coming from the right side, but that seemed the best of possible options. <\/p>\n<p>As far as Hue, I could have made this a green background with red lights on it, but it looked inescapably like a crime scene. Too much for me. Orange on blue seemed more peaceful. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not totally happy about the font, but I needed one where the letters didn&#8217;t fight with each other too much across the lines.
