Finalising Font for Magazine Masthead

Working on Font Selection 

I am very excited that we have started working on the name and fonts for our school magazine. I have decided to choose 'Enlighten' as the name of my magazine meaning 'illuminate' as the objective is to spread education.The second last I believe is appropriate as it emphasizes determination and strength to achieve success.



I have decided to choose 'Engravers MT' as font as it is decent and is a font that puts an impact on the reader. Secondly, 'Enlighten' is a powerful word symbolizing hope and passion to excel, this font is powerful and fills perfectly.


About the font 'Engravers MT'


Some typographers claim that the first designs of Engravers MT came from America rather than from one of these European foundries: Stephenson Blake and Co., Bauer, or Schelter & Giesecke. It's difficult to be sure which design could be called the original, but this face, introduced in 1924, is Mono-type's contender to that claim. The metal version was available in one size only: 6 points. Even so, the font's very thin hairlines printed clearly, a tribute to the engraver's art.  

Used

Used infrequently for a variety of purposes. Notably used on Strong Bad's gravestone in replacement.
