Project Portfolio: Font Finalization

Today, Bailey and I settled on a specific font to use. The font is titled Mistral and can be seen below

We chose this font because we enjoyed clear legibility of it when compared the other fonts we were in decision about.

We found that the first font on the list captured the creepy aesthetic perfectly, but we also found that it was too illegible for a title and would not suffice.

We found the second font to be too simplistic, not really capturing the creepy feel that we need.

The third and fourth font suffered the same fate as the second, being too simplistic for our desires.

The fifth font, the one we chose, had the perfect combination of simplicity, yet getting the creepy feel across, as well as being clearly legible. Bailey and I both agreed it was a great candidate for our title font, so we kept it in consideration as we continued down the list.

The sixth font, we felt, did not have a creepy feel to it as we would like, thus not fitting the film.

The last font was too a strong choice due to its extremely creepy vibes paired with decent legibility. However, we found that although this font is creepier in comparison to the fifth font, we wouldn't want to sacrifice the legibility of the font to gain more creepiness. And so, we settled on the fifth font, believing it best captured the creepiness of the film while still retaining the cleanness and legibility.
