Century Gothic and Rockwell
I chose these fonts mainly based on personal aesthetic
preferences. Both of these fonts are immensely similar to one another. They are
both based on nearly the exact same shapes with only a change in weight and
serif or sans serif. They can also
demonstrate different emotions. With the round shapes one gets the feeling of
happiness and cheer in the consistency and frivolity of the fonts. Rockwell on
the other hand appears more structured due to the thickness of the strokes and
the serifs. A serif, in my opinion, demonstrates a much older feel that makes
Rockwell seem more serious than Century Gothic.
When I think of these two different typefaces I can compare
them with many different things. When I look at Rockwell I tend to think of a
rock song that has classic vibes rather then new age spirit. Rockwell seems so
structured and familiar to me with a classic feel. Though neither typefaces
would really be appropriate for a band poster for a classic rock band. I
personally love Century Gothic and use it for many personal projects because I
love symmetrical round repetitive shapes, which both fonts allow but Century
Gothic allows for this feeling in a more modern way. This is a reason why
Century Gothic reminds me of a more modern band that stil has old roots.
Something like a new age folk band such as Mumfords and Sons of Of Monsters and
Men (which actually use a very similar font for their debut album. The round
even shapes allow for this feeling of happiness of energy but simplicity.
