5 Good Typefaces 
Helvetica: I think that helvetica is a good typeface because it is simple and straight to the point. Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by swiss typeface designer Mac Miedinger with in put from Eduard Hoffmann. Helvetica is so no fuss, it doesn't really lean in one direction or another. It feels professional, lighthearted and honest.
Frutiger: Again this typeface was created by another influential typeface designer, Adrian Frutiger. This font is mostly seen in airports and other areas of public transport. It is clear cut and understandable. Like helvetica, it is a no fuss typeface. Airports will have other languages on their signage, and this typeface is easily understandable and clear for any person of any nationality to understand.
Debby: Unlike helvetica and Frutiger this font isn't 'formal' and you would not see this type on a business or signage. This typeface look as if its been handwritten. I think this typeface is good because it is different and would be good for album covers, books for young adults, etc. I think this because it would appeal to a younger adult or teenager because it doesn't have the 'formal' look to it, instead it looks fun and creative.
Manifesto:  I like this font because it is simple, yet it is a bit more fun and not boring to look at like a font for a news paper for example. I think this type would look good on a magazine for young adults.
Walkon: Walkon is a serif design by Hanson Chan. Walkon was originally created as a corporate typeface for the fashion brand Wang & Lynch. It draws inspiration from the eras of Art Deco and Art Nouveau, but with radically contemporary approach.


As part of task for the typography workshop we had to find a typeface that would be suitable for a wildlife charity, a organic food chain and a sustainable energy firm. Here are the typefaces I decided would be good to use and my reasons why.
Organic Food Chain - I decided I would use something like the dancing script font. I decided this because I had looked into other organic food chain logos and their typeface looked similar. I also think having a less bold and formal looking type will make people interested to try Organic food. I think with a more bold and simple design people would be put off trying organic food because it looks boring and uninviting.
Wildlife charity- I chose Familiar Pro. I chose this because it is bold and straight to the point. A wildlife charity is serious, and if it had a font like dancing script it wouldn't be taken seriously.
Sustainable Energy firm- for this i chose Ubuntu Tilting. I chose thing because of how rounded off it looks. It still has this professional look but is interesting to look at. Many people overlook sustainable energy but will a typeface that is professional looking but also different will catch peoples eyes.
