The collective reason I chose these particular fonts to display in my mood board, is that they are all bold, speak out heartily and brazenly, I think that stands out the most in this manner is Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed Regular (second from the top). I say this because while it is chunky, bold and powerful, the constant curves in the letters make it seem playful yet foreshadowed by underlying seriousness. I see this as a so-to-say reference to forms of education, whilst being fun, also has a great purpose, and it is important that students notice this. That is why I believe it makes for the best font compared to the others listed here, as my magazine is aimed at people that are most likely in higher education of some sort (college, university). This seems like the best choice for my masthead.
For my coverline and relating featured texts, I decided to choose Gill Sans MT Ext Condensed Bold Regular (bottom). The reason for this is that the font is slender, yet bold and individual. I can use it to fit more text into compact spaces (such as the banner at the bottom of the front cover), and it is of the Gill Sans font family so it is not dissimilar from the font I am using for my masthead. However, the font I am using for the article in my double-page spread is Myriad Pro Regular, (not featured in mood board) as it seems like it would work perfectly thanks to the slender, easy-to-read shape of the letters.
