Looking at font styles 2

I decided to use the website http://www.dafont.com/ to look at possible font styles I could use for the masthead of my newspaper. As I researched san and san serif fonts and preferred using san serif, all fonts below are of this style. I have tried to include a variety of font styles in order to see which one could and will look most effective on my front cover. This is my analysis of all the styles. I will choose two styles, before surveying my class on which they feel is suitable.


1 - Caviar Dreams font
Although this font is clean cut and modern, I do not feel it is bold or eye catching enough to be the feature of my front cover. The letters are too thin and may appear unclear, however I am going to put this style into the survey to see what my age group see fit.

2-Harabara font
Where the previous font was not eye catching enough, I feel this font is too bold. The letters are close together, slightly blurring the words, meaning my audience may be unable to read it therefore are put off the newspaper.

3-Franchise font
Again, I will be discounting this font as I do not feel it is appropriate for a newspaper front cover. For the subject of university, I feel this style appears technology related, therefore attracting more of a male audience.

4-Alte Haas Grotesk font
This will be one of the two texts to be chosen. I feel this text is bold, eye catching and easy to read. The simplicity of the font style will attract my audience, without detracting from the other features of my front page. I feel it is also a style which is unisex, therefore attracting a wider audience.

5-Juice font
I immediately discounted this style from being used as I feel it is totally inappropriate for a magazine based on universities. It again, seems slightly technology or science based which does not appeal to all of my audience. The text is not bold enough either.

6- Old Sans Black
This text is extremely similar to number 4, therefore I will be discounting it. It has the correct features however, being easily readable, bold and similar to other newspaper masthead I have seen.

7-Aubrey font
I feel this text does not attract enough attention to be used for the masthead. It is slightly decorative, which I feel detracts from what it will be saying.
