Best fonts for Magazine
Magazine typography is a complete hierarchy rather than a font choice. Covers, decks, pull quotes, captions, body text and navigation all need distinct but related roles.
Common mistakes
Using one display font everywhere, weak caption hierarchy and body fonts chosen only from large specimens.
Headline & wordmark direction
Choose a headline family with enough character to create a recognisable cover and feature voice.
Supporting typography
Judge the body family in long columns, with italics, captions and real punctuation.

Colour direction
Make the type and colour agree
Near-paper neutrals, restrained burgundy, cobalt or one issue-specific accent keep the typography central.
