Ok fellow photoshop users, lets build a collection of actually good free text styles and layer style packs
ive been downloading free photoshop text styles for years and my library is a mess so i went through everything last week and kept only the ones worth keeping
my curated picks:
gold/metallic styles:
- theres a pack on deviantart by user Jeremychild (or something similar, ill find the exact link) that has like 20 gold and silver text styles that look genuinely premium. been using them for 3 years
- pixelbuddha had a free metallic text style set that was amazing but i think the site shut down? if anyone has these archived please share lol
retro/vintage:
- RetroSupply free text styles for photoshop are solid. especially the letterpress ones
- creative veila had some 80s chrome styles that are fun for specific projects
modern/clean:
- honestly for clean modern text styles i usually just build my own from scratch. gradient overlay + subtle inner shadow + maybe a thin stroke. the free packs tend to be either too flashy or too plain
the best free text style packs to download are usually the ones that come as samples from premium creators. theyre basically ads for the full pack but the quality is way higher than random freebies
what layer style packs are you using? especially interested in good neon and glass effects
