Hi all, I'm designing the cover of my next book and I'm looking for some input on which FONT works best.
If you'd care to take a look and let me know your preference, I'd appreciate it! The thumbnails are rough as the cover is just at the mock-up stage: http://www.jodykihara.com/thumbnails.pdf
I need the font to be LEGIBLE (you can understand what the title is), and I'd also like to know which one GRABS you the most. The reason I'm displaying thumbnails is because people will see the thumbnail first when they're on Amazon, B&N, etc. - so it has to be something that works in a small size. Make sure you're viewing the .pdf at 100%
(oh, and sometimes pdfs don't display in Safari, so if you encounter that problem, you may have to try another browser)
For some reason, I don't like when the As and Es are not both either upper- or lowercase, so my vote goes to anything after the first row. Beyond that, I think it's a personal preference and I don't think you'll go wrong :)
For what it's worth I liked the 5FT Matura best since the lettering, especially the T in Trail seemed to convey the movement & speed of the camels better. The more curly T's interrupted the action of the illustration. But that's just me.
