Planning - Text/Writing Drafting for Film Poster and Film Magazine

The font style for the film magazine title has to be similar to the style of 'Sight and Sound' has used.



The following shows a few fonts that are similar to the font style the 'Sight and Sound' magazine uses. The first font was almost identical to the exact font style the magazine used but the lettering was too spaced out and it was too thin to use for the title. By continuing the search for the right font, the second font style was another that caught my attention since the serifs on the typography also looked very similar to the one used for the official magazine and also it was bold so it'd be good to use for the title of the film magazine. However, even though the font style used a similar serif-style as to 'Sight and Sound', the style seemed very unprofessional to use for a film front cover magazine title. The third font style was quite similar to the second style but much more bolder and block-styled. The lettering was close together but a bit too close so it may be easy for the reader to overlook the title of the magazine since it's not eye-catching enough even with it being bold. The fourth font style was less bolder than the previous one and it was more spaced out. Once again, the reader may overlook the title if this font style is to be used since it's too spaced out and not bold enough to catch their attention. The last font style is the font style I have chosen to go with since it's bold enough to catch their attention and the lettering isn't spaced out too much. It's a bit different to the actual font-style 'Sight and Sound' use since the serif is more blocked rather than flicked.
