Possible fonts for digipak

The Jubilees

1) Headliner no.45
This font is visually appealing in its narrow, somewhat rough-edged design. The font m appear small on the digipak cover if the design itself is central. If the text is larger, the name itself will be more eye-catching than the design, which may decrease the visual appeal. The font also seems overtly American in its spaghetti western-like edginess. I will therefore not be using this font.

2) Coalition
This font appeals to me in its partially faded design, as if it has been sprayed onto a surface. The graffiti aspect of the font may aid a design which reflects the pessimism and economic gloom felt by many British citizens. The only issue may be the letter E in its futuristic design, which may not work in a supposedly contemporary digipak cover.

3) PAC
This font may be too simple to appeal to the audience, especially due to the band's semi-unknown status. It is clear and much easier to read than the other designs, though it is also the most bland.

4) Insomnia
Having chosen this font on its link to the title of the video, it appeals to me somewhat less than the first font. The design is bold and an interesting alteration on a block capital layout. The scratched or eroded design may represent the stress which the protagonist is under, although the ambitious and unique design of the letter E once again detracts from the font's appeal, as the repeated letter makes the font appear unprofessional and merely typed instead of especially designed for the digipak. The 'damage' on the letters also makes them slightly harder to read.

5) Mangal
This font, taken from Microsoft Word (as opposed to the first five, sourced from DaFont), is the simplest of all the chosen fonts. It would not work as a logo for the band for this same reason, though it would be perfect to use for detailed information on the packaging, such as song titles and copyrights.


6) Lithos Pro
The final font, sourced from Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, is both easy to read and interesting in its design. It is not too over the top or restricted in its design and is not as large as the DaFont fonts. With an eye-catching colour, the font will stand out especially well. I will be using Lithos Pro for the main text on the digipak.
