After having looked at the types of typography that i thought suited the steampunk theme i then went in Illustrator and put them in a big collage is i could get an overview of all of them together and which ones i think might work more than others. All of these fonts are unique and different to some level and i wanted to use some of them that stood out more for me in layout poster designs which is something i later began to do and i'll post that a little later.
The reason these fonts stood out for me is they have an essence of old and elegance which is something steampunk and be portrayed. Elegance was a common thing back in the time around the Victorian era and also having elegant font will appeal to females more which is what i want since i'm promoting A level science mainly forwards girls around 16 - 18 years of age.
Some of the fonts are more curvy and swirly than others which is what makes some of them elegant and unique and will attract females to the recruitment poster. Some of them are more bulkier and stiff and more sharp which relates more to the science, and steampunk feel, and i almost kind of want the best of both worlds and some of these are. All of these fonts are serif and some take advantage of that and others are more subtle but i chose to go for serif because steampunk is set in an old era with serif text, its also elegant and would appeal to girls and overall i wanted to to fit the theme with both science and steampunk.
