Font Analysis

Calibri:

Calibri is a font that is simple and bold yet it also oozes professionalism and would more likely be found in letters and documents on softwares such as Microsoft Word etc. It is proven to be more professional in comparison to other fonts by the fact that it replaced Times New Roman as the default typeface in Word on Microsoft Office 2007 and replaced Arial as the default on PowerPoint, Excel etc.

Century Gothic:

Century Gothic is a more rounded font in comparison to fonts such as Arial etc. and gives that sense to the viewer that this font would be less likely to be found on letters and professional documents and more likely to appear in magazine articles, leaflets and on video game covers etc. (as it is the font used for both BioShock and Battlefield Heroes).
