Both Focus Group interviews said they prefer a San-serif font to serif.
Having said this I will probably use a mixture of both serif and San-Serif to comply with the convention of a unisex magazine audience.
The preference of colour in both focus groups was red, and also vintage combinations were mentioned such as red and white along with black and white. The use of a house style is also what they found attractive
