Magazine Typography
Serif
Serif font is mostly used for magazines
masthead and sublines as it most
commonly used for formal writing. Serif
font tends to have ‘little feet’ which is
how you can distinguish between serif
and san serif.
A B C
San Serif
San serif font is a much more bolder
font and is used more as an informal
font. Some magazines do use san
serif for their mastheads as it looks
much bolder and catches the eye. It
can be used in contents pages. San
serif is the font that doesn’t have
edges.
A B C
Masthead
Typically, the masthead
of a magazine will be serif
font and will be easy to
read. The colour of the
text will be basic but bold
so it attracts the
audiences eye. It will also
match the mise en scene
of the model and
magazine
Contents
The contents page usually matches the font
of the front cover. The contents title will
most likely be serif to match the masthead.
However, for the section headings, the font
is san serif making it stand out and differ
from the headings. The headings are also a
different colour to the subheadings so they
attract the reader to the section they want
to read. The headings also tend to be in
bold.
Websites
Often, the websites text matches the magazine
therefore the masthead will match the font
whether that be serif or san serif. However for
the navigation bar the font typically used is serif
making it more bold and stand out. The font
colour is usually black or a very dark colour to
stand out against the white/ pale background.
