Designer Notes You’ll Actually Use

Test it in black and white first. Cruste’s texture reads best without color distraction—especially on packaging or merch where ink limitations apply.
Check readability at 12pt and below. It stumbles in footnotes or legal disclaimers. If your project needs tiny text, have a fallback ready.
Mock it up—on real surfaces. Print a label mockup, stick it on a jar, view it on a phone screen. Cruste’s impact changes dramatically across contexts.
Compare uppercase vs. lowercase usage. Its uppercase is tighter, bolder, more authoritative. Lowercase feels warmer but less distinctive—use accordingly.
Review spacing manually. Default tracking often needs tightening for headlines, loosening for short labels. Kern pairs like “To”, “Wa”, and “Fr” carefully.
License before launch. Cruste is a commercial font—verify licensing covers your use case: client deliverables, digital products, SaaS interfaces, or physical goods. Don’t assume “personal use” covers your Etsy shop or newsletter template.
