Music Magazine; Font research.

 

For this magazine, I've gone for the music genre of 'phonk' or 'drift phonk' to be more specific. Drift phonk is a sub genre of phonk which originated in russia in the late 2010's / early 2020's. Phonk is part of the lofi hip-hop 'family' and is generally used in videos with drifting cars. The genre itself is popular for its high bass and drum patterns. In terms of fonts, i feel as if using bolder and more 'unique' fonts would work best with the magazine, as well as originating with the russian roots of the genre by using russian text with an english translation. Fron Dafont.com i have chosen a font that i could use for the title of the magazine. ''FastUp'' i feel would fit well with the theme of the magazine as it's visually 'loud' and is quite bold. Not only is it bold but it's also slanted, creating an eye catching effect that could draw in an audience if used appropriately, for example putting the text in an appropriate place, etc. For the body text i feel that 'gobold' would fit nicely with the theme of boldness that was presented in the title, as it stands out to the viewer & could bring in an audience as the text could be shrunk to where it can't be seen at a glance but can be read, forcing the reader to view the magazine. Using bolder fonts rather than old-fashioned fonts such as typewriter or arial would fit better with the theme of the magazine because i would like for the magazine to have a more modern look, as the music genre is very recent and has only been around for less than a decade.
