Contents Font Research

Magazines which I would view as being similar to mine appear to mainly use quite classic, official looking fonts for their contents pages. These again create a more basic and clean feel to the magazine, which as I have mentioned before is the direction I would like to travel in with my magazine. These magazines only use a small amount of more playful, serif font types which is usually only used in the page title, which I feel is something I would like to leave out of my magazine as to create a feel of continuity. I plan to use a very professional, serif font "trajan pro" for the writing on my page as I also plan to use this font on both my front cover and my double page spread. Along with this I have also noticed most magazines play with their title fonts as opposed to keeping them plain and boring. This is why I have chosen to have my subtitles at a slant with a contrasting background to create a label effect.
