Ancillary Tasks Font Research - Group

To make our digipak and magazine advert professional looking and relatable to real world products we needed to have fonts that relate well, giving a consistent house style and link to other existing media that is related to both Madeon and other artists within the dance/drum and bass genre of music.

The first idea that James, Josh and I had was to look on www.dafont.com to see if we could find the official font that Madeon uses in his singles, EP digipaks, posters and all other media linked to him as an artist.

The closest thing that we found to the original font he uses was one called 'Expressa TS-Heavy', which, as you can see, is very similar to the font that he uses, and another called 'Pump LET'. The only problem was that in order to use the font we needed to buy it, so we therefore decided to look at other fonts to see if we could find any other close matches.

Another font that we found that looked similar to the font Madeon uses was one called 'Bauhaus 93'. The only things slightly different is the spacing on some of the letters, such as on the letter 'e' and 'a'. We all decided that we could alter these slightly in Photoshop when it came to making our ancillary tasks and that it would give us a better end result rather than altering an image off of the internet, which was our only other real option, and therefore we chose this as
our main font to use.
