Famous Fonts!

There are so many different font types out there, and ones that continue to be created all the time. To me, the font of a word or picture can tell a lot about what you are really trying to say with that word. For instance there are some fonts that look scary, like they belong on the cover of a horror film movie poster, yet other fonts look fun and childish like they belong on the cover of a children's story. This is why fonts are such a special way to get your points across with using more than just the word itself.
Over time, many famous graphic and type face designers have been inventing and coming up with fonts, some of them more famous and widely used than others. I wanted to show some of the really famous type faces in this blog that you may, or may not find on your Microsoft Word.
The first is Baskerville, This was a font designed by John Baskerville who used thick and thin lines to make his type face. A lot of famous designs use Baskerville such as "The Metropolitan Opera House," and "Better Homes and Gardens Magazine."


Franklin Goth is the next famous font, or type face that I would like to talk about. This is a traditional very bold font that was used in movies such as Rocky, or The Dark Knight.


Lastly, a font that you may use all the time but may never have heard of is, Univers. This is a sans serif type face that has been used on everyday things such as the apple keypads, FedEx, and Ebay.
