The class was asked to find a typeface that would help to express the personality behind the text of these personal advertisements. The advertisement is in bold with a brief justification of the typeface choice following each personal ad. Firefox may not display these typefaces.
Homework Smart, is a typeface that is much like a person with great penmanship. The font has a pleasing amount of space between the characters. Homework Smart is not exceedingly formal or showy, therefore, almost no serifs. The font seems to represent a person who writes in a smart, stead-fast style.
The woman in this personal ad mentions she is a writer, so perhaps it may be fair to assume she is a fan of good handwriting. For these reasons, an articulate and smart hand written font seems to represent this woman's style.
Swansea is a strong typeface for an aging spinster. Swansea has a confident yet modest appearance. A person who describes themselves as "decadent" may want a bold and stylish font like Swansea.
Swansea is somewhat unassuming and therefore may be appealing to the target demographic which is a "plainish man".
This font, Gobbledegook, is silly and fun. Perhaps this typeface would represent this woman well who is seeking someone who is "confused" like Roger and who is also silly.
This font, called A Charming font, and is quite showy. This typeface's fancy serifs go out of the way to be charming and interesting. In most cases, this typeface would not be a good choice for body copy as it's ornamentation makes the typeface harder to read.
