This is a task we did in lesson on typography, we looked at different fonts in combination with other front cover magazine conventions like the main image. We were given 6 identical magazine front covers except from the fonts which are all different and it was our task to decide which type would combine best with the rest of the typography.
Best font: B, this is because this font complies with the mechanical style of the main image because it is bold, edgy and urban. The first letter in each word is bold so it creates a form of divide like the face in the image.
second best font: E, this is because it also has an edgy urban look that would comply with the image but its not too clear to the readers.
third best font: A, this is because it is very clear to the audience and its a professional font but too formal for the style of this magazine and doesn't comply with the image
worst font: D, this is because its not clear to the reader at all and very difficult to read, plus its very rare that fonts of a hand written style are used for headlines.
second worst font: C, this is because its a common basic font that doesn't comply with the style of the image, however it is much more clear than font D
third worst font: F, this is because its bold and readable but there is nothing special about it, it doesn't fit with the theme of the image.
