"Inferno" Typography Design.

Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 700x600 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a black color. Now create a new layer set and name it 'Inferno'.
Select the Horizontal Type Tool and set the font family to Lucida Bright, italic, 100 pt, strong and #FF7800 color shade. In a new text layer type 'Inferno' or whatever name you want to use.

Step 2:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Satin, Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your text layer.

Step 3:

If you choose not to follow through using the word "inferno" you can skip this part but you can also use this step if you have any slogan or description for your typography design.
Now choose the Horizontal Type Tool and modify the font family to Calisto MT, bold, 30 pt, strong and #B4510E color shade. In a new text layer type 'the' above 'Inferno' text.

Step 4:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Satin and Gradient Overlay blending options to your text layer with "the" text.
