Planning Ancillary product: Choosing font Album/Artist name

This aspect of creating my ancillary products i found most difficult of all, which font do I use. The decided to deviate away from the original font I had planned to use because as I saw the product begin to take shape I just didn't think that this font ' Eras Bold ITC' would work. So for reference I took another look at  other digipak's, especially 'On A Mission' - Katy B. I found that it made use of quite a slender font type rather than bold lettering. This is done to relate to the genre and sound of the music, every detail counts.


Scrolling through the fonts was a very time consuming process, which I can avoid in the future with slightly better planning.


The first image below is my original font, the second image is my font as of now which I think is much more presentable, and relates to the genre of music more than the first one.
