If you do not want to show this feature, just don’t install the plugin.

The demo is showing a special font as below:

By default, after you install the theme, the blog title and description are showing the Arial font.

You can change the font style by following this instruction:
Part 1: Modifying Font Style

- Extract and open the PSD file in the Photoshop/ImageReady/Gimp/PaintShop program
- Change the title and description using your desired font (you are free to modify the header image if you want)
- Save the image using this name: bg_header.jpg
- Upload the image to your server in the “/styles/frame/” folder

Part 2: Activating the Style
- Login to your WP admin
- Go to the options page of the Texture Art theme under “Appearance -> Texture Art”
- Find “Theme Style” under “Layout Setting”
