Graphic Design Typography

Modern/Legible Font - Helvetica?
This font is very popular in design due to it's wonderful softness and simplicity. It flows beautifully and works well large and small. The sans serif keeps it modern, yet it is classic at the same instance. There are so many possibilities of use with this typeface.

Old Fashioned - This typographic peice shows how old-fashioned type can still portray an interesting artistic and even modern appeal when incorporated into the right design.  The serifs make it easier to read text in bulks, so this font would probably be best used in books or on paper.

Funky/Trendy Fonts

I love the playfulness of these letterforms. Not only because of the colours but also the shapes. The slanted A and W for instance gives the font a quirky and modern appeal.  However the font could only be used with designs

Obviously this font could not be used in bulks, as it would be difficult to read and take the attention away from the content of the text - but I think it would be a fun alternative to use for headers on illustrations or posters.
