However, since these types of fonts usually have very small line weights, most of them are only useful in display sizes. The free fonts featured here all are very thin and light weight and we're sure you'll find amazing uses for them! ]]></description>

The buttons have a subtle pattern overlay featuring three of my favorite custom-made patterns from my personal Photoshop pattern collection. The PSD is fully editable (you can even resize the buttons), and I've organized them so that you can find the layers you need to edit. I hope you enjoy these!]]></description>
