How would you describe the your band/artist's music? Soft? Fun? Heavy? Whatever that answer is, those are the qualities you want to look for in a font to match with your album.
If you can't find an appropriate font on your computer, you may use www.dafont.com to download fonts. Please do not download fonts from any other source. There are PLENTY here for you to choose from.
Just so you know - Technically, every font that is on the internet is owned by someone. Legally we would never be able to just download a font from the internet and use it in a real album promotion (you could be sued over the use of the font.) Remember, if you did not create something completely from scratch, it is not your own work.
To download a font:
- find a font on dafont.com and click the button on the right that says "download." The font will save to your downloads folder on your computer.
- Open your Downloads folder using your Finder.
- Double click on the .zip file (a .zip file is like a zip-loc back that holds a bunch a files so nothing gets lost along the way.) You are looking for files that are either .ttf (true type font) or .otf (open type font.) Double click on that file. There could be more than one if there were bold, italic, etc versions of that font. Double-click on them all to install all of them to your computer.
- When you double-click, Font Book will open your .ttf or .otf file and ask you to install it. Click install and wait for the preview to appear in font book. Your font should now be installed on your computer.
