The contents page of a music magazine uses images and minimal text to draw readers' attention. There are four images of artists including Lana Del Rey. The images tease the articles without including identifying text, prompting readers to explore further. The magazine maintains a consistent and recognizable style through its simple logo, color scheme of red, black, and white, and use of the same font throughout to provide a clean, organized, and professional look.

The font usedinthe Contents
