Font Analysis

(Bitstream Vera Serif)

Zara Dorman
This is a neat, formal font which is fairly bold. It is easy to read and would probably be best used for a sub-heading in a newspaper. E.g.

David Cameron Supports London Underground Strike.





(Garamond)

Zara Dorman
This font is very elegant and formal due to thin lettering. Garamond is a very old typeface and is used for the name of Tiffany & Co., an expensive designer brand.
TIFFANY & CO.


(Franklin Gothic)

Zara Dorman
This font is strong and bold and would look good in ad campaigns, displays, billboards and books as well as other types of media.



(Rockwell Extra Bold)

Zara Dorman
“This font was primarily used by Egyptians in the early nineteenth century.” Again, it is bold and would look good for a Headline or short text.




(Engravers MT)

   Zara Dorman             
This font, which is all in capital lettering, is formal but elegant. It would be well used for the masthead of fashion magazines. E.g.
Vogue




(Matisse ict)
Zara Dorman
This font is playful and fun. The jagged edges make it well suited to a font used in a boy’s comic strip e.g. batman.
