Where Can You Use It?
Candle Labels: The texture of Rough Times Light adds a subtle layer of character to my candle labels. It complements the natural elements of the candles and gives them a more artisanal feel.
Greeting Cards: When paired with a clean sans serif font, Rough Times Light becomes the perfect choice for titles and decorative phrases on greeting cards. It adds a touch of elegance without being too bold.
Wedding Invitations: For a rustic or farmhouse-themed wedding, this font is a great option for welcome signs, place cards, and even the main invitation text. It brings warmth and authenticity to every detail.
Printable Wall Art: I’ve used Rough Times Light in several printable wall art designs. It looks amazing when printed at larger sizes, and its texture adds depth to the overall composition.
