I have chosen a few fonts from the website 'Da Font' to use for my digipak. Da Font has hundreds of fonts and themes to choose from, but I chose these as I thought they suited my genre best. The 'Birth of a Hero' font is unsuitable for my digipak as it resembles a rock/metal genre more than it does an indie/alternative. The 'Moon Flower' font I likes as it was simple with a little style to it. However, I'm not sure yet as to whether it may appear to feminine. The font beneath the previous two may be a bit too fancy for the front cover. It may be hard for the audience to read what the textual information says. Also if the digipak is on a music stand or shelf of some kind, you'd want to be able to read it instantaneously, rather than having to glance back more than once.
Two of my favourites are the 'Edmundsbury' and the 'Impact Level' fonts as they are bold and clearly readable. They are relatively simple, but I believe that fits in more with my chosen genre. Also the font will need to represent my target age group; therefore, I think these two are appropriate. The 'Alphabits' font may not target my audience due to the higher age range and the genre of the music. The audience would expect a down-to-earth, more naturalistic approach, rather than focusing too much on the styling (like in pop music).
I think I will use the 'Impact Level' font for the main title and the 'Edmundsbury' font for the track listing on the back of my digipak.
