What makes text look “aesthetic”?
Aesthetic text is soft, airy and minimal: lowercase small caps, wide vaporwave letters, gentle symbols like ☁︎ ⊹ ✧ and lots of space. It's the look you see on mood boards, fan pages and dreamy bios.
The trick is restraint. Pick one aesthetic font, add one or two soft symbols, and leave space around it. ⋆˚✿˖° ꜱᴏꜰᴛ ᴠɪʙᴇꜱ °˖✿˚⋆ looks calm; ten different symbols look busy.
