@ruhl_construction
Ruhl Construction is an award-winning custom home builder working out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. A good way to grab someone's attention is to do something different, which may cause a pattern interrupt for a user. This is part of what Ruhl does with their Instagram captions. When looking at captions, we are used to the plain, regular font Instagram has, but what Ruhl does is uses a custom font to interrupt our patterns and catch our attention.
