I have now researched into some possible typefaces that I could base my designs on. I decided I wanted a font that was already condensed so that it would still fit into the theme whatever the rest of the design was. Here are some examples..

This example is called 'SF Movie Poster,' I like the simplistic style and elongated appearance, but I think that maybe it's not bulky enough to fit some of my heavier design ideas inside.

I then looked at this font, 'American Purpose Stripe.' I chose it because of it's thicker appearance and I liked the look of them as a set. Although, when I just viewed my chosen letter A I didn't feel it had the narrow look I was going for.

Next was 'Headline.' I was really considering using this type as it had all the qualities that I was looking for. My only problem was that maybe some of the letters were a bit to heavy and bulky.

Finally I found 'Alegre Sans NC,' I am really happy with this font. It has all the good points of the previous type but slightly thinner and clearer.
I was considering using a collection of typefaces and having a different one for each design, but now after thinking about it because all my ideas are quite different I would like to use the same initial font to base them all on in order to tie them together.
