Project 3: Time Capsule -- Fonts

I've chosen my fonts for the heading "Mark Rothko" to look most like his signature. Here are a selection I went through before choosing my final ones.
I searched through the 'Handwritten' fonts on www.dafont.com.
Here is my list of 10 final fonts i chose from:
1. Hand Test - to thin and scratchy looking.







2. Just Me AgainDown Here - to separated, rounded and childlike.







3. JH2 Trial - To thin but 'Mark' has a nice flow to it.







4. Strassman Script - I like the 'H' but to thick and marker pen like.







5. Comes In Handy - I like it overall, the 'TH' would have to be separated more.








6. Journal - The 'T' is wrong and it is slanted the wrong way.








7. Honey Script-SemiBold - Its a bit to regimented though i do like the 'TH'.









8. Hand of Sean - To rounded.









9. J.D - (one of Final choices) I like this one as it matches well apart from the 'TH'.






10. Sams Handwriting - (one of Final choices) I've chosen this one because the 'TH' is right so it can go with the one above.






I chose 9 and 10 together for my final fonts. Below is my font for the main body text of my leaflet. In all other body text i used Arial.
Body Text = Snidane
