DaunPenh is one of my favourite fonts. It’s quite a simplistic and classic font yet it stands out from others. However for my main headline I don’t think it is bold enough as the letters are really thin. Therefore I may use this for other font on my front cover, contents etc.

Magneto is a very interesting and unique text, I do not like it in normal text (e.g. lower case writing) I just like it for my headline ‘RAVE.’ However I don’t think it particularly fits the tone of my Music Magazine, it’s a tad over the top and too ‘flicky.’ Also it looks like handwriting.

Neuropool is also another of my favourite fonts, it’s bouncy and modern and suits the style of magazine. It looks very good in white which I hope to use due to the fact my background is going to be black and set on the party scene. I like especially how on the E of ‘RAVE’ its slightly cut off. It’s the type of font that fits quite electric and colourful scenes.

Papyrus font looks quite Egyptian, probably why it’s called that. Again, similarly to Magneto I like the font in my title but I would not use for anything else but that as I don’t like the font on lower case letters. It’s very thin but a little scratchy as the lines are so jagged.

I used both DaunPenh and Sybil Green together because as I’ve previously said DaunPenh is one of my favourite fonts. To make it more bold and stand out as a title I used Sybil Green as the v looks like an upside down triangle, this sort of look fits with the rest of the piece as it’s quite arty and unique.

GDT_IV25 is definitely my top choice so far for my title. Although it is quite thin it still stands out and definitely fits the tone of the Music Magazine. It is modern and the sharp straight lines give it a very metallic feel. Also it looks very sharp and crisp in white against the dark background. For my actual title I would probably add a triangle for the A or V(upside down) depending on which fits more.Swis721 BlkOul BT is also a very interesting,

it’s different to the others as it is bubble writing rather than thin text. I like this as it would be a very bold and eye-catching title but wouldn’t look good against the background as the black block in the middle would be too large.
