For my masthead, I decided to go with "Her Era" instead of "Sunkissed and Sleek." I felt that "Sunkissed and Sleek" would take up too much space and might overwhelm the cover. I think the full phrase could work better as a subtitle for my 2-page spread. Magazines like VOGUE and ELLE often use fonts like 'Didot' and 'Bodoni,' which give a formal yet minimalist vibe that doesn’t overcrowd the cover.
I want to stay within the trends of mastheads in terms of a simple font. I am leaning towards Bell MT because it is thinner compared to Gurmukhi MT, and I feel like that would reflect the aesthetic of my blog better. Usually, the mastheads in other magazines tend to be a bit generic, but I would spice up this font depending on the elements and theme of my cover page.
I prefer this font when the letters are spaced out, so I added a space between each one to give it a cleaner, more polished look. I really like how this font brings out the personality of my cover page, and the italics in the second font add a nice touch. The thicker lines also make it stand out more compared to the top two fonts. I really love these two fonts and will have to choose between them for my masthead. The other two fonts feel more suited for a subtitle.
I’d say this font feels modern and fits well with the current "aesthetic." The long, slender letters give it an elegant touch, while the blocky style keeps it looking fresh and contemporary. I think it looks best in color, but I won’t choose a specific one—or even black—until I take cover photos and decide on a color scheme. However, I believe a solid color wouldn’t distract too much from the content on the cover.
