Magazine Research Blog Post #2b: Typography

The Vogue logo is an elegant symbol of sophistication, while simultaneously remaining timeless and bold. The serif typeface is synonymous with what the publisher is representing: high fashion and luxury. In this post, I will be examining the font and what typography is used and how they perfect it for the Vogue Brand

The Vogue logo uses a custom typeface that is elegant, serif, and highly legible. The exact font is obviously proprietary, but there are other fonts that shar similarities, such as Didot or Bodoni. The high contrast and clean, seamless lines provide the logo with a luxurious feel, while keeping the design minimalist, which aligns with the brand's persona.

 A font that are near one-to-one emulations of the aesthetic that Vogue exudes is CS Praise. It is an elegant serif font, sharing the same clean and minimalistic design as Vogue's. It has high contrast and balanced proportions that make it perfect for creating a dynamically sleek design. Additionally another font that shares similarities with its design is CS Calping. It is extremely versatile, while still sharing the same minimalistic dynamic. It is also geometric and perfect for creating designs that are both innovative and approachable. More fonts that share these proportions, dynamics, and designs are CS Albert Classic Didone Font, CS Kolder Serif Font, CS Charles Professional Serif Font, and CS Nolan Classic Serif Font.

Reflection

Knowing what types of fonts and typography to use in my magazine will be pertinent in recreating the sophistication, elegance, and minimalistic design that aligns with women's high fashion magazines, such as Vogue. Because I picked out many different fonts with these criteria, I will be able to experiment, picking and choosing which font I believe will fit the best! I am looking forward to outlining and creating this magazine, especially when it comes to synthesizing an elegant and beautiful design for the typography.
