Research into Fonts

Today I began to plan what fonts I would be using for my newspaper. For this I have used this website, which has many copyright free fonts available.


Considering the age range of my target audience, I have had the idea of going with more 'daring' or 'exciting' fonts for the masthead and headlines within my newspaper. Of the examples I viewed, I have narrowed the following down as the most appropriate.



I am going to experiment with these fonts in some mock-up front pages, and decide on which is most suitable to use; possibly through audience feedback.

In contrast to all of this I have decided that for the actual body text, a clearer font such as Segoe or Arial will be preferable as it is easier to read than the more 'complicated' fonts.
