Font: Lumos
Designer Sarah McFalls AKA CarpeSaponem Fonts Font History Lumos is a freeware font created by Sarah McFalls, inspired by the chapter title font in the US version of the Harry Potter series. The name Lumos comes from a spell that lights up the tip of a witch or wizards wand. The font was created sing Softy, a shareware font program. The official font used in the Harry Potter books is called Ablefont, and was designed by Marcus Burlile it can be purchased online for $39.00. In the Harry Potter books, the font is used in CAPS only, and the lowercase letters are simply smaller versions of the capital letters. Why Lumos? There are multiple different fonts used the Harry Potter series, and among the three most recognizable are the cover font (Harry P, designed by Phoenix Phonts, is a close duplicate), the chapter title font (Able/Lumos), and Hagrids handwriting. I decided to use Lumos in my poster because it would have been impractical to use the cover font throughout the entire poster the cover font is chunky and meant to be used for a title or cover; therefore, using it throughout the poster would have looked messy. In addition, Lumos is more recognizable as a Harry Potter font than Hagrids handwriting is. Audience & Design Message The intended audience of this poster is anyone who is a fan of the Harry Potter series. Growing up, I absolutely loved the books, so this was a nice way to bring back a bit of childhood nostalgia. I decided to use colors typically associated with parchment and ink, which are used in place of paper and pencils in the wizarding world. In order to maintain a consistent look reminiscent of sketches, the Graphic Pen filter was applied to the images throughout the poster. With my poster, I hope to bring back memories of the countless hours spent pouring over the series as a child, dreaming of dragons and magic, waiting for their Hogwarts acceptance letter to arrive on their eleventh birthday.
