When looking for fonts for my masthead I wanted
something simple but punchy to match the shortness of the name of my magazine. Because
of this, many of my shortlisted masthead fonts are bold, blocky fonts with
little to no exaggerated elements – with one exception, Adventurer Light SF. When
I typed in one of the possible names for my magazine and saw how it looked in
this font, I liked how the “u”, “r” and “e” were presented, I feel like it
matched the meaning behind the word “Outre”.
With the body fonts, again I wanted a simplistic
font that has little to no obvious features. I wanted this to not distract the
reader from the rest of the magazine. My favorite out of the 5 I shortlisted
was Century Gothic. I liked this one because while the others were quite bold,
Century Gothic remained slender. I found that Century Gothic was the easiest to
read for a long period of time because of this.
