Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Hyperpix. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
Do I need the same font?
The effect works with any font, but the look in the preview depends on the font the author used. If it's missing, Photoshop will ask you to replace it.
How do I change the text?
Text effects usually sit in a smart object. Double-click it, type your word, save, and the effect updates in the main file.
