Masthead - Font Samples

All of these fonts I have found on Dafont.

CF Punk Attitude
This first font that I have selected is called CF Punk attitude. This font stood out to me because of the grunge, rough style. The font uses negative space to create each letter for the word. The font is very bold and it's style matches well with the magazine and the genre of rock. Each word is broken up into separate letters, all unique in their own way.

CF PunkForever
This next font is just like the last one but this time the letters are all together. The font uses negative space to build up the word. This type of font is very unique because it is the opposite to the other fonts. The letters in the font are not filled in, it is the space around the letters but you can still make out the words clearly.

Angel
This font here is probably my favourite font out of the different ones that I have found.  This serif font has a very unique style. The font has some sections removed but you can still see what the word is. I like this font because it is quite unique. This font stood out to me because of the ridged edges and the bold lines.

Stucco
This font is like the first two fonts because of the use of negative space and because of the style. This font is like a splattered stencil font and this effect makes the lettering stand out much more. This effect makes the font eye-catching and this would be a good font to use on a magazine cover.

Wreckers
I like this font because it is slightly all over the place. The font has a cluttered feel and this relates to the audience of my music magazine. Magazines in the rock genre would normally look cluttered and this font would match this style completely. It is in all caps so it stands out great and also because of the boldness of the font.

RH Shmatter 
This font is a very bold font and it is very suiting to the genre of rock. The typeface has a shattered effect. This looks great and it stands out but I fear that it will look too similar to the logo and masthead of Kerrang. I want my magazine to be different and stand out, so I may not use this font.

Maverick
This font is very unique and interesting so it could be a possibility for my magazine. I would have to see what it looked like with an image because it is such a unique font. I could play about with different colours. I also fear that it will be too hard for the reader to make and as it isn't 100% clear.

NHL Wild
This font, again, is very unique and interesting. The font looks like it is sliding apart. It is very subtle but it is a very significant part of the type. I like this because it is quite thick so it stands out well. It is also fairly wide so it will take up a lot of space at the top of the page.

Nervous
This font is probably one of my favourite fonts that I have font. It has a very cool effect and it really catches the eye of the reader. It would match the style of my magazine but I feel it isnt as clear as it should.

Cheatin
This font is another really great type face  that I have found. Like the first few fonts, this font uses negative space. However, this font has a much cleaner look but the lettering is much less clear. I like this font but I fear it wouldn't work as well as some of the other fonts that I have found.
