Regardingourcontent,article andinside storiesfonts,we feelitisnecessarytokeepthe fontbasic
and easyto read.Thiswouldrevolve aroundafontsuchas Arial orCalibri.
The side articlesonour front coverwill still be standout,but
mostlikelybe inthe same fontas our logo.Thiswill
standoutto the readerand grab theirattention.The reason
for keepingthe same fontwouldbe becausewe donot
wantto use over 3 fontsto make it lookmessy.
Anyquotesonthe frontcoverhowever,willhave anArial
fontas it will be ina smallersize,andbe alot of text
together.Thereforeitmustbe clearand basicto read,and
alsocontrast withthe mainheaders.
