AET WK2 Practice: Adding Fonts

     Are you looking for more fonts for your writings or other creative activities than what your current system offers? Well, I had the opportunity in my current Aesthetics and Theory of Communications class to explore and practice downloading and installing different fonts from the web. The website I chose was 1001fonts.com . They have an awesome variety and all for free. You can also google how to install these fonts depending on if you have a PC or a Mac. So, take a moment to check out some of the fonts I chose and why I chose them. A couple of the fonts aren't compatible with this platform, but I still really liked them and did a review on them anyway. 

Cheery, Positive and Upbeat in Appearance

Mf Still Kinda Ridiculous  - This one immediately caught my eye. I like that the letters are different sizes and how the lowercase “i” looks like a stick man. It really would add fun to any piece that you are doing.

Delicate Little Flower – I liked this one because it is really girly and I think it would add delicateness and a childlike feeling to my work.

Cartoon 2 Us - This one would like cool being used with any type of project that has a cartoon theme. It would be great especially as a font for the title.

Serious and Business Like Appearance

Niconne – Even though this is a scripted font I thought it was still professional in that it is elegant and the letters are legible. This would also be good for just the title of a piece.

Vanity – This one made me think of fonts that are used in many magazines. It would be a great one also for the title of a blog or anything like that. (This font not compatible to show here)

Dual – I just liked this one because it was very wide compared to a lot of fonts that I have used. It is still professional so it can be used for a variety of things, but because of the letter sizes it will definitely stand out. (This font not compatible to show here)

Dark, Sad, or Frightening Appearance
Primal Dream – This reminded me of an alternative rock band and the type of font I

have seen used for some of their logos and things like that. Sometimes the music can be dark, sad, and frightening, but so can all music. But something about this font is just dark.

Cpeepsters – Of course this reminded me of the old horror movies like Frankenstein and Dracula. This would be a great choice if you doing something associated with vintage horror movies.

Scratched Letters – So this font actually reminded me of modern horror movies and I enlarged it so you can see the details on the letters. These types of movies are very dark and scary and the titles usually are in these types of fonts as I have pictured below.
