I want to find a suitable type face for my school magazine, so in the website Dafont.com I searched fonts with a name associated with school or education. There are a couple of screen shot above of the results I got back from searching words like school, teacher and education. I believe I got lucky and found an appropriate font by using this technique to search for a type face design. I wouldn’t suggest everybody using this because it limits the amount of fonts you can find especially if you search something that is rare or not very popular.
.
I gathered these Fonts from a website called Dafont.com
These fonts I believe would look good and be appropriate for the front of a school magazine cover.
Typography is the skill and method of arranging type in order to make language visible. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length adjusting the spaces between groups of letters and adjusting the space between pairs of letters
Typography uses typefaces and the whitespace around and through them to create a whole design.
Typefaces and Fonts: Typefaces are a family of fonts (such as Helvetica Regular, Helvetica Italic, Helvetica Black, and Helvetica Bold). Fonts are one weight or style within that family (such as Helvetica Bold).
Spacing Around Letters
There are several adjustments that can be made between and around letters that affect typography.- kerning - space between individual letters
- tracking - space between groups of letters
- leading - space between lines of type
- measure - the length of lines of text
- alignment - placing text to the left, right, centered or justified
- ligatures - letters moved close together so that their anatomies are combined
