Font Ideas

When thinking of what font to use, I considered my target audience.  They are loud 15-25 year olds who enjoy having fun and going to gigs. I would like to think people look at my font and think it is unique and current.  When looking for fonts, I visited the website www.1001fonts.com, it has a large variety of fonts and here are five of them that I am strongly considering.



This is the first font that caught my eye.  It has a messy look about it which I like very much and it certainly has a vintage look about it.  On the other hand, I just can't see 'indie music magazine' when I look at this, it looks like it could be used on a horror film.  It is definitely not a font you would associate with music.



I am strongly considering this font due to its informal, effortless look.  I think it would look extremely attractive on the front of an Indie music magazine too.  The font, however, does have a dark, intimidating look to it and this is not what I want as my magazine will be full of humour and upbeat.



I am a big fan of this font.  I can picture it on the front of a music magazine too which is instantly a bonus.  Although I believe that this is past indie and heading towards a rock and roll look which does not match my chosen genre.



I feel there is a lot of potential in this font if the right colours are used with it.  For example, if there was a simple white background and this was the masthead, I feel as if it would be extremely boring.  But if the background was yellow and this was the masthead, I'd immediately be pulled into the magazine.




This font is so good because it is 3D.  When seeing a font that is 3D, I get the idea it is making an effort to 'reach out' to the me and make me read on through the magazine. I think that this font does it very well.  The one problem is that you do not see many 3D fonts on magazines as it doesn't look very professional.
