I know very little about fonts and page layout but I know that a lot of you out there are experts at this kind of stuff. So here’s a question for you: I’m working on a proposal for a tv show aimed at teenagers, age 15 and up. My boss, the producer, was thinking about using a cool and young font for the presentation of our project to the broadcaster. This document includes a description of the content of the show (characters, storyline, etc) as well as production and budget details (spreadsheets).
Do you have any font to suggest that might work well for a project like ours? Ideally, this should be a font easily available and not something that we would have to pay a fortune to get.
What’s the standard these days? Is it considered cheesy to present a professional document in an unusual font? I think most producers play it safe and stick to Times New Roman or Arial. My boss wants to be more original since the show is centered around teenagers. What should I tell her?
