Brief 2: RSA Fair Play - Typeface consideration

For the typography that will be used on the board game, a serif typeface seemed the most suitable as serifs are usually known to be traditional so the board game stay classic throughout time. The three typefaces that looked particularly classic are Baskerville, Amiri and Caslon.
















Baskerville is a classic British typeface which is said to have been created to modernise the Caslon typeface. It has high contrast letters and the serifs appear more pronounced as opposed to the other two typefaces. Baskerville is known as a 'transitional' typeface between old style and modern.























Amiri an Arabic typeface and is the newest typeface of all three and it appear to be the typeface that has the most equal stokes in each letter which makes the typeface easier to read and appear more modern.



















Caslon is a typeface that is high contrast, go-to typeface that is used on many historical documents and newspapers. While it is a classic typeface, the Caslon typeface seems to look older than the other two.

From all 3 typefaces, Baskerville will be the most suitable for the board game as it is a classic typeface. The board game is supposed to be aimed at people of all ages and genders so I believe that the Baskerville is an in-between typeface of Amiri and Caslon therefore, it is modern but also old which makes it more interesting as a typeface choice. The typeface was made for all periods.
