Font testing for Masthead

I have decided to name my magazine “ name of magazine". In order to create the cover of my magazine, I wanted to explore different font types for my masthead. These are some of the fonts that I tested for my masthead;

Century Gothic;

Name of mag

Century Gothic font really simple like the Billboard's masthead. However, the typeface doesn’t  have a stylist feature. I think I will have to consider this font as my masthead. The typeface outlook appears to look official which convey a message clearly. Alternatively, as magazine is aimed at younger audience, this font is modern so they are more attracted to this font.

AR Bonnie;

Name of mag

AR Bonnie, in my opinion is genuinely unique. I believe this font is spectacular. However, I have come to conclusion of removing the use of this font as the audience suggested the fonts to be bold. Whereas this font is not.

Broadway;

RHYTHM

Broadway is a playful and bold font which compliments the masthead. Nevertheless, majority of people in the focus group not fond of this font type because they believe Broadway is unsuitable for a r&b genre of magazine. Therefore, I have decided not to use this font at all.

Copperplate Gothic Bold

RHYTHM

First I thought this font was appealing, then later onwards I did not like the concept of using Copperplate Gothic Bold, as a masthead because it is absolutely plain, perhaps this font will make the cover dull and lifeless.

Elephant;

RHYTHM

I tested my masthead by using Elephant font. The font is engaging.
