7. FONTS, TEXTS, TYPEFACES AND TITLES
Arial
Main headline title. This font is called HolyFont and is a good
representation of a rock genre due to its roughness and unique
scratchiness.
The font being presented here is the American Captain font. This font
stands very well out and will be used for straplines and cover lines to
attract my audience/reader to the magazine.
The font Arial is going to be used for my DP spread interview as it is a
neat font and easy to read.
