Which font would you use for the Kitten and Friends title?

I like the second (going left to right) and the last ones best, simply because the text comes out clearer. it is easier to read and assuming your audience is quite young, you want easy to read lettering. It is also blacker and therefore jumps out rather than some of the others, which submit to the smaller text.
I hope this helps. I know how hard it can be to pick the right cover and so on.

Top right. Clean, asy to read and not too foofy.

Or easy to read. That, too.

Hi Aviva,

I like # 3. The t’s stand out for Kitten & Butterfly. It is cute & fun for children. It is also an attention grabber for them, giving a final tender touch to the beautiful illustrated talent of
Tekla Huszar.
Good Luck & Best Wishes!

Font #6. It is easy to read but still has charm of elegance and has some flaire.

Font #1 is invisible.

Font #2 is too plain.

Font #3 is too rigid.

Font #4 is too busy.

Font #5 is too cheap.

I think the stronger and more readable font is best, #2, or perhaps #6. While some may be more “fun”, it seems that on a shelf in a bookstore, you want your book and title to stand out from the rest. Bright colors and bold fonts do that. You might try increasing the font size of #2 a bit and see what happens. Beryl

No question. #5 is best for these reasons:
~ It’s has enough whimsy.
~ It’s kid-friendly.
~ It’s very readable.
~ It’s bold enough without using a bold version.
~ Because the capital K and B are close to the height of the other letters, it gives it a better balance.
~ The ampersand is unique and quirky enough which gives it added interest. When you use an ampersand, you have to consider what that looks like in the font package. Of course you could always substitute the & from one font with another but unless you’re very careful about doing that, it can be a real mismatch.
~ Because the letters have a bit of a randomness about them, it fits with the playfulness of a kitten and the way butterflies flit around the sky.

Here are the reasons not to use the other choices:
#1 – too light
#2 – too straight and uninteresting
#3 – fun but a little too straight up and down
#4 – too much scroll
#6 – the K & B are so much bigger than the other letters, looks out of proportion, almost over-powering the cover design.

So it’s not a matter of which one is the favorite, you need to look at all the factors and pick which one fits the overall design best.

I like font 6 best and then font 3 as a close second. Font 6 has a nice look as you look at the whole page, it flows with the softness of the illustration.

I like 6 best. I’d stay away from 1 and 4 because too hard for young readers to read. Good luck!

Font two

I like font #6

The second font. It’s clear and bold without interfering with the artwork.
Kind regards,

I like #6 it is clear and easy to read, not so hazy as some of the others. Good luck with this. When I did this once I ended up with equal likes for each example!

I like #3 & #4! Great cover and of course I love monarch butterflies. Hope you’ll check out my book at http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Matilda-ebook/dp/B00AU9ZISA/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1362172868&sr=8-1 Also, I interview authors on my blog at http://www.4writersandreaders.com Wishing you much success with Kitten & Butterfly!

no. 6 clean and quick to read and a nice font for that and no.3 for a more stylized flair and still easy to read . Hope that helps you with all the other view points.

Love #3 and #6

Bold letters are perfect for children ages 8 and below.

I find the top right one easiest to read.

#2, top right. I have done literacy work with grade one students and I find the fancy fonts tend to confuse them. Even if this book is designed to be read by an adult (I’m not sure what you intend), we presume the adult is pointing to the words as they read to make it instructional and entertaining. The easy to read fonts help kids who are struggling with letter recognition – we want lots of readers so let’s reduce the challenges for early readers. While five is easy, it doesn’t match the artwork (I work in magazine design/editing too). Hope this balances aesthetics and function for you!

the last one has the best typeface

I like #3 and #5. I think the fonts feel playful. Good luck. Very nice cover.

Number 2. You don’t want fancy or distracting, you want clean lines. Whimsical swirly fonts don’t match the art.
I’ve illustrated 19 trade books and countless covers, I’ve got experience on the subject.

#3 – playfully cute

#3 strikes the perfect balance and blend!

I like #3. It is bold and stands out, plus the font reminds me of a kitten and a butterfly.

I prefer AND I think all of the samples would be easier to read if you provided more separation between the two subtitle lines and the actual title. Thanks for asking!

Top right or bottom left – it’s obviously an ebook for children. I just read that in the U.S. schools will stop teaching cursive. Since the book should be for most markets I’d eliminate cursive fonts, which might confuse children. At least I have no preference when it comes to top right or bottom left.

I like #3 It looks like it was written by a butterfly in flight.

Hi,

I did several book cover but here it is often a question of taste. The “funny” fonts don´t survive the time so well and distract from the beautiful illustration you have there.

Depending on your target:
Font 1 & 6 are quiet feminine although 6 is a classic.
Font 2 is more neutral and clean.
It would appeal all buyers (moms & dads) for either girls or boys.

I was thinking a bit about the placing of the title, the illustration is squeezed. Giving a little space around can be a good idea, decreasing the size of the illustration & adding sky.

Hope I don´t confuse too much;)
Good luck!

I like #3. It’s easy to read, but still interesting.

As a graphic designer, illustrator, etc. for product packaging, covers, and more here’s my opinion.

I like 3 best, and 2 almost as much, then 6. As far as the rest, none rate nearly as close as 2 & 3. Even though you didn’t ask, I would change the all the other non-title text to a sans serif font; I would increase the butterfly size by about 20-30%.

Good Luck!

P.S. I hope you post on LinkedIn again when it “ships”
