Suggestions on which of these fonts to use?

[leecarlton]

Hi guys,

We are testing out some new fonts, and I would love to get some input as to which you think are best. You can cycle through the fonts by clicking the numbers on the top right hand of the page. I'm new to this, so definitely value any insight you can provide. Thanks!

I think #1 is too condensed to be much of use. And #4 just doesn't look right, but Im biased against rounded type. 0

#2 and #3 are the better ones I think but #3 comes out as the winner for.

But in all five the white text over the forest photo is kind of hard to read and kind of unnoticeable so I think something about that needs to be changed as well

It needs to be something bold and sharp edges. Something like Futura could work. Try different types of bold sans-serif typefaces. I wouldn't use display typefaces for that kind of site.

I like 3 and 4 (Rooney?) the best. I agree with StRIIIk3 about trying some thick sharp Sans fonts, though.

Thanks guys for the help! I'll look into the suggestions about sharp fonts that you made
