fonts

i've been looking tonight through various websites trying to decide on fonts for my music magazine. From this i've concluded that I want quite a bold style, with nothing to fancy. I also like the idea of using handwriting style fonts, as I feel these look good and provide an alternative style to make my magazine different.


I think if I was to actually follow through with the idea of using the handwriting, I quite like the above font.

For my main masthead I want something a lot bolder and a lot more simple, here's a few fonts that i've found that I like the look of, 


I quite like the 'Helverica Neue Condensed Bold' as it's different to Helvetica, and yet it's not to bold and it's still very simple. I do however like the look of Futura Condensed Medium. Carring on the idea of Futura here's a picture of the plain basic font itself.


Although seeming quite boring here, once you've seen this font on the front of a magazine cover, I feel that it looks really good. Although it is basic, it's also got something different about it, and I really like it.
