2. Bold & Energetic:

• Font: Chunky Serif or Display Fonts (e.g., Bebas Neue, Anton) for high-energy captions.

• Colors: Bright tones like red, orange, or neon pink for excitement.

• Placement: Flashing transitions across the screen.

• Example:

• “LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE!”

• “THIS WHOLE SHOOT WAS A MIC DROP 🎤🔥”

3. Themed for Arabian Nights:

• Font: Elegant script fonts like Lora, Playfair Display, or Great Vibes.

• Colors: Gold, deep purple, or emerald green.
