An impossible love for movies and retro(or these two combined) has grown my interest in text styles. You can be designing any project, and nothing can boost the process and set accents better than a robust text style. 

Inspired by immortal cinematography, design trends, and movements, these effects perform as a great final touch and save loads of your time. I am not sure if it’s always possible to find the matching typeface, but there are still loads of premium and free effects for an explosion-like impact — like the one for the Stranger Things did.
