The mood board shows various ideas of font styles that can give me an immediate indication on what type of font to use for my front cover magazine. The types of fonts shown on the mood board are serifs typefaces, the are known for the features at the ends of their strokes. Serif fonts are probably the most used class in printed materials, including most books, newspapers and magazines. Sans serif typefaces fonts are commonly but not exclusively used for display typography such as signage, headings, and other circumstances challenging legibility. They are clear yet easier to read as they give direct gaze and attention. Script typefaces reproduce handwriting or calligraphy, they are typically used for logos or invitations.

The type of font I choose will signify the magazine and also represent it through out the whole magazine. For my music magazine a good, sophisticated, professional, bold yet clear font should be used to get direct gaze and the choice of font will be noticeable and recognized. Serif font cant also give sophistication and modern effects to the Masthead title. Using this type of font may attract the target audiences however sans serif font is eye catching yet in blocks which may not look to sophisticated as we need a font to symbolize the urban culture that will also relate to the audience and what attracts them. The fonts below show similar examples of what I will use on my front cover of the Music magazine as it looks professional.
