My masthead. sell line titles, and 'Artist Index' title and the Table Of Contents titles on the Contents Page will be Calibri Bold which looks like this:

DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD FONTS:

The words 'YOU, CAN'T, WRITE, DRUGS' will be in Calibri bold - the house font.

The word 'WITHOUT' will be in the font 'English', for example:

“YOU CAN’T WRITE SONGS  

DRUGS”

The text for my article will be Calibri.

In conclusion The Calibri Family is the house font to my magazine. This is neat, classic, and bold. The font makes a statement which is potentially what my target audience are doing in their lives - they make a stament with their alternative music choice and fashion sense.

The English font complements the Calibrini font and adds varation, class and style to the magazine. It contributes a classic edge and this makes the magazine appear unique and serious about alternative indie music.  Calligraphy is also a clear genre signifier and is used in many indie alternative maagzines such as NME and MOJO.
