For this session we were asked to bring in different fonts that we thought related to the different accents.
As can be seen the weight of the line and point size has a bearing on what the font looks like and can be related to. The font could have a different speed when read or look like it has to be spoken louder. Very similar to the previous lesson where the size and weight of font makes you speak it in a different way.
With trying to avoid stereotypes these are my typefaces for different accents.

A lot of these typefaces were chosen based on what i thought of that place and things i knew about it, despite never actually being to most of them. This shows that when using a typeface it is extremely important to choose the correct one because it may not work with what is trying to branded or advertised, it may offend, it may not be legible and could be the complete opposite to the thing that is being advertised and branded.
