Font Testing


Example This is a font called School House, I like this font for a school magazine because it reminds me of writing using this format as a young child, yet this may be an issue as it may be too childish. I think it is also quite hard to read, especially with a lot of text written this way. To conclude, I may consider using this font for large writing e.g. title’s because it is fun and has connotations of school life.

Example This is a font named MonaLisa Solid, this is an old fashioned font but could be quite interesting to use as it is quite different to the everyday Times New Roman or Arial. I like this font as it is stylized yet it does not make a huge impact so would not be appropriate for title’s but would work well for large blocks of text.

Example  This is a font named Rosewood, it is modern and eye-catching font which is reminiscent of the circus. I think this font is too dark to use on my student magazine and it also bears no relevance to school life.

Example- This is a font found on the iMac’s named Monaco. It is a font similar to Comic Sans yet it has a modern twist. I understand it is not very eye- catching but with it’s modern edge I can see it working for large amounts of text in my magazine.
