For my project I looked over a range of fonts of all different styles to get a further understanding into the origins of type as well as analysis of the specific fonts themselves and their usages.
Arial
The first font that I looked at was Arial. This is perhaps the most standard Sans-Serif font, itself being designed in a way that it uses the same measurements as Helvetica to allow for a public-domain version for print compatability.
Although this font is standard, I wouldn’t personally use it in any of my projects for that reason. A standard use I’d expect for this font is for document use more than anything, in education and in business.
Futura
The main thing that I like about Futura is the versatility. It’s a very one-size-fits-all font, being able to used in almost any aspect and working great. Typically I use this a lot in the workplace and can be applied to leaflets, signage and generally all aspects of branding.
I didn’t end up using Futura in any of my designs but I liked looking at the versatility and I easily could’ve put it into any of the designs I did without ruining the effect
