Inspired by Fiona Banner and David Carson's work, I realised the importance of typography in any work. To bring that in my manifesto I decided to explore some typefaces and try a continuous text layout. I explore four fonts -
Manifesto sample 1. Font name - Arial Black - Classic font for a bold visual look. I like the kerning and leading of the typeface, its legible and presents the message clearly.
Manifesto sample 2. Font name - Manila - While the font looks great for headings and short titles, an entire paragraph looks a bit confusing and lost.
Manifesto sample 3. Font name - Manifesto - Initially I created one with a single typeface, however, it didn't quite look right so I mixed it with Arial Black, but still the appeal of the poster wasn't very professional and strong.
Manifesto sample 4. Font name - Sigmund PRO - I do like this. Very bold and strong. Looks compact, very much like Fiona Banner's work. But some characters were a bit difficult to read like A and B.
I think I am more inclined towards Arial Black as a font for the manifesto. It's legible and visually strong.
