Notes (for a perfect end result):

  • Use a font size with a minimum of 400 px.
  • Try to avoid bold typefaces and instead use hairline, thin or regular weights.
  • For script or handwritten fonts, use an even larger font size (600 px or more).
  • Start with a big document size and a very large font size (you can reduce it later when the action finish).
