Different Font Types
A very important feature of any poster/magazine/digipak is the font. Different fonts have different styles. I have noticed through my research
into pop, indie, rock etc. magazines that different fonts are used as they are more appropriate for that genre. For example, on pop products
you would expect to see bold and big fonts. Whereas on indie products, the fonts tend to be more simple and not as eye catching. However
this is not always the case when companies go against the genres’ connotations.
Indie example: Pop example:
Because fonts are becoming more used and more and more people are straying away from the classic Ariel or Calibri font, we are no
longer limited to the ones you can find on Microsoft word or Photoshop. There are websites which offer hundreds of fonts in all
different styles to suit your needs. This is why I am going to use one of the websites in my final product.
How we portray different fonts
Continuity is very important on any type of
media product. This often includes the font type
aswell. If the masthead is one type of font,
another part of the product would often have a
similar looking or the same font.
Big fonts are used to draw attention to the
writing. Usually if a masthead on a magazine
would be written in a bold font as it is eye
catching.
Fonts like this would be
seen in the main text of
a product. It is easy to
read and is the default
font on most
computers.
A font like this is very dated and would often
be seen on products years back in the old English
period.

For example, on pop products you would expect to see bold and big fonts. Whereas on indie products, the fonts tend to be more simple and not as eye catching.
