Layout/graphology of my magazine- fonts


I will be researching fonts to use before I begin making my music magazine. I think this is important because fonts found on photoshop or word are not adequate to fit the demographics of my magazine and I think they do not look professional.


As I have previously mentioned, the font used on rock music magazines and Kerrang in particular is distorted. Meaning that is has a rugged feel with pieces of the font missing as if it has been damaged, which is a reflection of the genre. I have been looking at a number of sites to which I can download font from to add to the style of my magazine, I came across 1001 free fonts which was good but I found it difficult to use. I have ended up looking at www.dafont.com which have categorized their fonts. One of the categories is distorted which I was pleased about but the category that I found my ideal font is called eroded.


This is my headline font.
