Typography

This font is serif. By using this font it give the impression that a magazine would be aimed at a higher audience, both in the registrar scale and in class, I use the term ‘higher audience’ when talking about serif font style because generally in magazine articles where a serif font is used, it is about issues that mainly affect upper class people (people with more money). This font would usually be used in the magazines that are expensive and are about topics such as politics and well established fashion (vogue).

This font is san serif. This font is usually used in free magazines in the articles. This font gives the impression that the magazine would be aimed at the lower half of the registrar scale and the working class. This is a general font that is used by many magazines, maybe not this font specifically, but a font that is similar to this one would usually be used in main bulk of a magazine, for example a gossip magazine (heat).

Typography

This font in san serif. By using this font, it gives the impression that the magazine is aimed at a younger audience because of its comic book like style. I would suggest that this font is not used in a regional magazine due to the fact that the topics that are discussed in a regional magazine are not of a childish nature.

What draws me to the conclusion that serif fonts are used for the higher half of the registrar scale and san serif font are used for the lower half of the registrar scale is that, serif font are usually and generally used in articles and magazines that target issues that affect upper class people. And that articles and magazines that use san serif fonts are used in articles and magazines that target issues affect the working and lower classes (or lesser educated).
