Behind the Album: Font Research

Using Dafonts and various other free font sites our group aim to find a font which can encapsulate the modern ere of Hip Hop our artist is so badly trying to convey. It is for this reason that we are looking for fonts that have a slim lined appearance with a strong emphasis on clean cut simplicity.

Acens Stood out to us as it covers both criteria and is bold which is effective when trying to get the album to stand out against other Digipack covers in a store.



Bebas is effective due to its bold and industrial like form. It stands out perfectly well, however I believe it to be somewhat uninspired and not entirely original.



We feel that this font is effective simply as it has a futuristic urban style whilst being clear and concise. Plus the contrast of bold on non bold could be quite useful when we come to trying to trying to differentiate the artist from the album.
