Adjust spacing and kerning for legibility and visual balance, and center-align text elements for a pleasing composition. On a white background, create contrast by using dark-colored fonts like black or charcoal gray, and establish a clear hierarchy with varying sizes. Adjust spacing and kerning for legibility and aesthetics, while maintaining consistent alignment for a clean and organized appearance. Remember to test the font on actual packaging materials, consider printing variations, and proofread for readability.
