Masthead Font Survey Result


After showing the class this list of fonts, here is the general consensus:

Number 1 was considered unpleasing on the eye because the bottoms of the letters are not flat.
Number 2 was said to look 'rocky' and messy.
Number 3 was generally well received.
Number 4 was not bold enough and would have trouble standing out.
Number 5 was well received.
Number 6 was too retro and looked almost like a ransom note which doesn't suit the somewhat laidback feel of the magazine.
Number 7 was too round but generally liked,
Number 8 was way too futuristic for the indie genre and already looked dated.

Given these results, I am considering using font 5.
