Fonts

There are two different types of fonts used on magazines. The first type is "Sans-Serif" this is a font generally used as the title, as it is simple to read. Examples of this are Helvetica, Avant Garde, Arial, and Geneva. Serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, New Century Schoolbook, and Palatino.



The second type is called "Serif" this is used for the writing, it is easier to read as it has a little flick at the ends, this also helps distinguish the difference between Sans and Serif, the little flicks help the writing come together so it is a lot easier to read. Examples of fonts like this are Didot, Onyx and Times Bold.
