Planning - Fonts for Masthead

For my masthead I have to chose a relevant style of font. The font of the masthead needs to be eye-catching however it also needs to resemble the genre of my magazine. Because the genre that I am doing is alternative, I need to make sure my font looks slightly harsh. I want to chose a font which looks slightly broken and messy, yet is still readable. I would like my font to be unevenly placed as I think it will fit into the style of genre.

I will research different fonts on the website Dafont and then see which fonts look the best and would be ideal for my masthead.

I found when researching that I liked the style of these fonts. I then selected three of these fonts which I was considering to use.

This font that I have used is called "All Over Again". I like this style of font because it is slightly messy, yet it is readable. The font uses thin styled letters and uses a san serif font, this can make the font look more modern. The fact that this font looks messy makes it look like the font looked rushed, and this will link to the genre because some of the music in that genre can sound rushed at times.

This font that I have used is called "Sickness". I like this font because how the some of the words are missed off - this makes the font looked slightly smashed and that is something that I wanted to include in my masthead. I like how the words are uneven. I think the layout of this font is pretty good and work well as a masthead, however I don't like how thin the lettering is as I think it makes the font look less unprofessional.

This font that I have used is called "Knife Fight". I like this font because it is messy-looking and most fonts on alternative look slightly messy as it fits in to that style of music. I think it would be bold on any colour as it does seem to stand out. However I think the letters are too messy-looking because the letters "u" and "s" look too close together, making the font hard to read.

Overall, I think all of the font would be suitable to use, however I think I will use the font "All Over Again" for my masthead. However I am going to make some changes to the font e.g. I will move the placement of letters around so it makes the font look uneven. I am also going to remove some of the lettering like in the font "Sickness" as well as it will make the masthead look more harsh and infectious is a harsh sounding word.
