Meme Typography Analysis

The image I chose to evaluate comes from lds.org and is attributed to Jenae Nelson. The original image can be found here .

Typeface #1

The first typeface is a script font. The font appears to have all the letters connected and looks like a calligraphy brush was used for a hand-drawn look.

Typeface # 2

The second typeface is categorized under sans serif. Sans serif is easy to spot by its lack of serifs on the ends of the strokes and is usually monoweight. The lack of thin/ thick transitions helps identify this font.

Conclusion

The two fonts used in this meme are contrasting in a few different  ways. First, the script is angled and lager to make a bold impact. The second font is smaller and subdued to show it is secondary information, as well as being simpler for the eye to recognize.
