Glitter Font
Admittedly, I obsess over fonts and what’s not to love about a font called Glitter! This is a great font to use with a Photoshop glitter brush because you can add accents to your text plus the font comes with sparkler accents that will make your glitter design so much more impactful.
Glitter comes in two styles: Regular and Clean. This feminine calligraphy font is an elegant, decorative, handwritten font. Uppercase letters with glitter and sparks. This glitter font includes stunning ligatures and a full set of lowercase alternates to make your text as close to a natural handwritten script as possible. I love how the font designer used the glitter brushes to compliment the image and the font. This is a great inspiration image for wedding, celebration, ceremony and so much more.
