Font Ideas - Digipak

I decided to research font styles that we could use for our Digipak, specifically, for our band name or album name. I used Google to find interesting styles as well as a great website that I found that has many different fonts available for free download. Below are some of the styles that I particularly liked:

Font 1 - Haus:

I like the crisp quality of this font, the thin lines look sleek, sophisticated and professional whilst certain letters, 'A' for example, have been altered and are slightly more geometric, I like the interesting triangular shape and feel that if used on our Digipak, would make our name 'NOVA' look more unique.

Font 2:

 

I like the simple cut-out shapes used to form the letters of this font. I think that the thick, bold lettering would help to make our name stand out. I turned the font black and white as I think that it looks less childish and more sophisticated, in keeping with our artist's image. I think that the black and white font would also fit with our Digipak's monochrome colour palette.

Fonts 3-6:

I like these 'chalkboard' inspired fonts as I think the hand-drawn aspect would make our Digipak look more unique and personal. Out of the four, my favourite is 'Return to Sender', I like its simple look compared to the stylised, almost hard to read 'Chalk Hand Lettering'. I also like the horizontal lines within the letters that help to balance the vertical look created by the tall, thin letters.

Font 7 - Nova Solid:

I think that this font, coincidentally titled 'Nova Solid', would work well for our band name 'NOVA'. The boldness would help our name stand out as well as make it legible against the black and white image on the front cover. I like the angular lines as I feel that this signifies ideas of strength and power whilst still looking 'cool' and urban, hopefully appealing to our target audience.

Font 8 - Acne:

I like the thin, sleek look of this font as it seems fashion magazine-inspired, this would appeal to our target audience of teenagers and young adults, as this demographic, according to Young and Rubicam's idea of psychographics, is orientated to image, appearance and fashion.
