Can I use a retro cover commercially?

How is retro different from synthwave and vaporwave?

Retro is broad 80s and early-90s graphic design with geometric shapes and halftone, while synthwave centers on neon sunset grids and vaporwave on pastel glitch nostalgia. Each has its own generator.

Can the bold type stay readable as a thumbnail?

Yes. The generator treats your title as a key graphic element and is tuned to render legible lettering so it holds up when a platform shrinks the cover.
