Font
testing
Bank Gothic. This font would be used in magazines that
are involved in fashion and technology. It is quite edgy, cool and cutting
edge. For example it could be used in a women’s fashion magazine or a men’s
technology magazine. The font is easy to read but the font is probably more
appropriate for older teens and adults. It also stands out a lot as it is all
in capital letters.
Comic Sans MS. This font would be in magazines that
are casual and not full of complex and factual information. For example it could
be used in children’s, teen and sports magazine. It is a very easy to read and
simple font.
Edwardian Script ITC. This font is very posh and
formal. You expect to see this font in a formal magazine such as a christening
or wedding. The font looks like it has been written with a fountain pen, which
gives off a nice effect, and something that is a bit different from the usual printed
fonts. Though the font is very nice it is quite hard to read so you could only
use the font in small paragraphs and headings.
Princetown LET. This font is cool, preppy and looks
like the type of writing that would be on an American school/universities logo.
This font would probably be used in school/universities magazines and maybe
even fashion. You couldn’t use this font all the way through a magazine as it
is quite hard to read and stands out a lot, so it would be good for headings
and short sentences or quotations.
Charcoal CY. This font is very simple and bold. It stands out very clearly and is easy
to read. This font could be used in most types of magazine. But it would most
likely get used in headings and quotations as it is very bold and could only
really be used in small sections.
Didot. This font is quite simple, fashionable and classy. It is clear,
easy to read and yet still doesn’t look boring. You would expect to see this
font in a fashion, wedding, or food magazine. Something that people that are 20+
would read. You probably wouldn’t use this font in a heading as it is not quite
bold enough. It is a good font for paragraphs.
