What should you keep in mind when using it?

A few practical suggestions if you decide to try it:

2. Pair it with clean fonts. Use a simple sans-serif for body copy and let the crayon-style font handle the headlines.
3. Use a limited color palette. Bright, crayon-inspired colors (red, yellow, blue, green) reinforce the font's personality.
4. Test on mockups first. Before listing a product, preview how the font looks on your actual product type t-shirt, mug, card, and so on.
5. Check the license. Make sure the font license covers your intended use, especially for commercial print-on-demand products.
