Magazines & Their Fonts

XavierRaphael · 14-03-2009

So while creating my own Vogue cover for Mens Vogue, I wanted to know why they chose such a terrible font for the "MENS" on top the Vogue. Alot of magazines do this, Interview has their new typface, so what are your thoughts everyone?

What is the MENS font anyways?

Great thread idea! I've always wondered that too...
The only thing I know is that Numéro uses Helvetica. (Or Helvetica Neue? not sure...)

Thanks!
I was just a little outraged that Interview has ditched Fabien and Karl's font.
Seems M/M are stuck in the past, the font is totally Vintage Interview, which some make like, but I think contemporizing(not sure if that's a word) a magazine is key.

I love this idea!

This could be a great resource for make Vogue / Men's Vogue covers for the Vogue Cover Challenge. I know that Vogue uses "Didot" and Vogue Paris's en vogue font is "Dogwood". I'm also pretty sure that Elle UK uses "Didot" but stretched. Thats all I know. Thanks for the info about the Numero font, mandolux.

Material Girl's font is in the Garamond Family.

If you layer it over the cover shot, it works

Elle Uk uses Onyx and Eras Light ITC!

(had to copy one of their covers for a school project!)

For Numéro font, you can also try the font century gothic but don't forget to bold it!

Try the Didot font (looking for it on www.dafont.com for free). Harper's Bazaar and Vogue use Didot but all of them have to retouched a little bit.

Vogue uses Didot, but it's a little bit different...
