There are a number of us who help with featured images on the Magazine articles. The images help the articles look attractive on social media and invite people to visit and read.
Here's a tip for using the Molot font in your images. I picked this tip up silently from Ryan, by looking at some of his work.
I typically use Molot for emphasizing words in a technically focused post, or for very important text. Molot's default spacing is really wide -- abnormally so, in a way that doesn't look very attractive IMHO.
When I use Molot for more than one word on a line, I use Inkscape's word spacing tools to *reduce* the between-word spacing to a more reasonable size. It makes the headline look more attractive. For this reason, I also use Molot sparingly.
That being said, this is just my $0.02 and I'm very happy to see that other folks are helping pitch in with featured images. Nice work everyone!

This is super useful feedback - thanks for sharing! Will keep in mind when working on any future featured images. :)
