1. Downloads
* Firstly you’ll need a few Icons and a fresh font!
* I have used the font Museo, which can be downloaded here (I’m
using the 500 and 700, both are free, just add to cart and
checkout, it will be emailed)!
* Put text in your main fonts folder for your computer, or it may
do that for you when you open it!
