 Well, this one has some subtle but nifty advantages over available packages, here's a few of them:
 
-- [x] No external api call is required, it's totally offline. 🛰️
-- [x] Unlike some other available options, doesn't require heavy-weight image processing libraries like **Intervention**.
-  🧺
-- [x] Doesn't have any binary dependency, so nothing needs to be installed on server. 🗃️
+- [x] Supports custom font. 🧣
 - [x] Supports gradient background. 🦜
 - [x] Supports random gradients based on defined presets in config. 🦚
 - [x] Multiple shapes: rectangular, rounded-rectangular, or circular. 💎
 - [x] Ability to customize initials and extractor. ✍🏼
