Focus group- Font types

I have been looking at fonts for my magazine weather on the cover, content or double page spread. These are fonts I selected from www.dafont.com
I have spoken to my focus group and asked them what they thought about the selected fonts.

They liked the scruffy look of this one as it gave it a personal touch as if it has been hand done. It is also clear to read. However it is too busy for a cover but would be OK in a double page spread


 They also liked this one as it had a rugged edge to it but is very clear to see.


 This one was good as it would look like the text off an album cover but the group thought that that would be the only thing its good for

 They didn't like this as it was too plain for a magazine and wasn't as eye catchy.


They liked the sketchy writing in this but decided it wasn't clear enough and wasn't bold enough for a cover


 They liked this text as it was clear to see and plain so that it wouldn't draw attention away from the rest of the article, but it had an edge look that would be good in a double page spread.


 They weren't sure about this one as it was bold and had an edge look but the style of the text would not suit the genre of the magazine


 They decided that this was to plain for a magazine but they liked the style of the text and would like it more if it was bolder and had a edger look to it.


They decided that this text would be best for the cover as it fits the genre, is bold, has a edge look and will not draw the attention away from what's around it. They decided that this would be perfect for a magazine cover or content page
