Font Testing

We had to decide which font we wanted to use throughout our magazine. There are many different types of fonts, which each give a different feeling - this is why we had to be careful choosing. Here are our thoughts:

Times New Roman isn't really what we want, as it is slightly bland and we're looking for something different. It also looks a bit too sophisticated for our target audience.

This second font looks neat, but is too basic, and it doesn't suit our genre.


Courier looks fantastic, and is different from others - which is everything we're looking for. Another plus side is that it isn't everyones first choice.


Trebuchet is also a nice font which is simple and easy too read. But i think it needs to be more interesting.


Overall Courier is our font of choice. The reason being - it fits with our genre, looks great and can be read with ease.
