Magazine Typography

Magazine Typography

Music magazines use a variety of fonts depending on the genre of music it is centered around, but overall there is a theme of large and bold lettering. However, on 'BBC music',the 'music' is written in lowercase letters with the U in italics, which makes it stand out and seem like a pun on the word 'you', This makes it feel more personal and direct to the audience, Kerrang! is written to fit the genre of music it is for, which is alternative rock. The effect of shattered glass it has and the capital letters make it seem quite aggressive, reflecting on the genre it is for.
