Font Research



 
 These are the final fonts I will choose from to use in my magazine. I have picked these for various reasons. For example, 'Elite Hacker' has a distressed look, which makes it informal. However, its straight edges make it look modern and sophisticated. Some of the other fonts have a less modern eroded style, which will reflect the age of the rock genre better than 'Elite Hacker'.

The 'Linkin Park' font uses a backward 'N'. This will be appealing to the rebellious target audience. 'Reprise stamp' is a simple font, so I will nuse this for subheadings rather than the masthead. Also, this is a font which will not look out of place with the other fonts. 'All ages', 'Punk rock show' and 'Payday' are similar fonts. They are all sans serif with a thick uneven outline. Many artists continuously present their band name in unique font; these fonts seem suitable for this purpose. When featured in Kerrang!, the main sell line may be the band name. Therefore I might use 'All ages', 'Punk rock show' and 'Payday' as the font for the main sell line.

I have decided to use 'Payday' for the masthead. I will incorporate 'Reprise Stamp', 'Plane Crash' and 'Linkin Park' in other ways. I will use 'Reprise stamp' for smaller text. I might use 'Plane crash' for numbers on the fornt cover, as it makes text very bold. 'Linkin Park' is unique, so I'll use it as the main sell line to stick to conventions.
