Project 3: YouTube Thumbnail for a D&D Channel
- Scenario: A Dungeons & Dragons live-play podcast needs clickable thumbnails.
- Execution: Septimus works well, but be careful of thin strokes getting lost in YouTube’s compression. Add a thick white stroke (outline) to the font to make it pop against busy backgrounds.
- Result: Increased click-through rate because the font signals "D&D" faster than an actual dice image.
