Fonts are essential in games because they help set the vibe and make things easy to read. For example, a scary game might use spooky-looking fonts to feel creepy, while a fun game could have bubbly or playful text. Clear fonts make it easier for players to read dialogue, menus, and instructions without getting frustrated. Using the same style throughout the game keeps everything looking clean and consistent. I need to find multiple fonts for my game for the different places they are needed. Good fonts make the game feel more polished and fun to play. I’m using google fonts to search for the right fonts as it has a large variety and has filters to help me narrow down my options.

Diary Font:

The font needs to feel handwritten by a 17 year old middle class girl. This means that the font needs to look natural and also reflect the personality of the girl.

I like this font as it looked natural but the letters are rather squished making them more illegible

This font works as it looks more messy and childlike with more curves rather than straight lines

A more cursive appearing font exemplifies the idea it was written by a 17 year old girl but the loops make it harder to read

UI font:

This will be used to label items, and for other miscellaneous reasons so it needs to read clear whilst also representing the vibe of the game. To make the game more fluent, I am likely to use the same font for the start of the game, HUDs and menus.

This font looks good as it resembles a typewriter, correlating with the whole idea of you being a detective

For UI font, you want it to be clear as its crucial that the player can easily read it no matter how small. This font abides by this making it a good candidate

Similar to the one above, this font is slight more simple and clearer to read but lacks any representation of the games vibes

Game logo:

This will only appear on the title page so it acts as the introduction and first impression of the game. It’ll appear large but still needs to be bold and clear. First I need to figure out what part of the game I want the Title font to represent. The game has two main vibes , it initially starts as a true crime game as you try to figure out the mystery of a missing girl but soon turns into more of a horror as the entity starts to manifest more. I need to find out what reena is doing for the entity so that is I want to he font
