  1. Thanks much for this …It helped me a lot.
    Hope so i will get more this type of helpful post.
    Thanks!

  2. Am I the only one who has completely fallen in love with the first atmosphere font?

  3. Question re. size of font files.

    I notice some of these have large file sizes eg Selina is 970kb. How does this impact page loading?
    Or does Divi not load the whole font every time it is used on a page.

    Not sure how it works but would appreciate a primer on it!

  4. I must be doing something very wrong. Text module design will not recognise a ttf when attempting an upload.

  5. Nice selection. I can. See myself using some of those in future projects.

  6. These are really helpful brush fonts and beautiful too. Thank you for these Randy 🙂

  7. What a great selection of beautiful brush fonts. Thank you!
