The font is a nice blend of whimsy and elegance.

I also like the font! I just don't understand why so many people are complaining about the placement of the text. It's ok for me.

My favorite cover is the CD Only!

Why thank you.

Once the booklet and the inside scans are out, I totally need to make my new Ava & Sig with these gorgeous pics.

Typography is an artform in itself. When I am creating graphic art, I will highlight my text and go through the list of fonts and make notes of all the ones I like for that graphic. Then I will go back and compare the ones I like, process of elimination, until I decide on the perfect one. Font is not just "text", it can make or break the entire composition.

For me the font itself is okay, but it's too big and overshadow the colorful pics a bit. At least it's white and not full of different colour shades

Yeah the placement is what really kill it. If it weren't smack in the middle the font itself wouldn't be too bad but the fact that it's right there and it's distracting from the photo and doesn't really fit the photo, it just looks strange.

But really, we're just nit-picking at this point. It's rare to see covers like these that have a strong concept and execution.

I think the font would look good embossed and literally bring the white text out of the colourful background, there's really nothing wrong with the font imo but it's just not very easy on the eye to have all those colors and then white text that kinda gets lost in them, especially the cover with lip prints on the background since it has white in it already. But yeah it's not a big deal anyway, just thought embossing would make it look more pro or something

[ahtka-chan]

Well, the text is still okay for me. It works best on the CD+photobook version rather than on the CDOnly Version.

I like the font. Retro.

As for the placement. The thing is. I honestly don't know where else I'd put it.

I think we need kaled up in here lol

[AyuGAME]

Placing the font in such vibrance photos like that...is very challenging...i agree there is something not cool with the font and the positioning...but if i need to do it myself, i will be confuse as well....so i will received it as it is...although textless will looks better

lower right-hand corner for CD/CD+DVD and it might work in upper right-corner for CD+DVD as well.

Spoiler:

But its not as big as you want sorry O_O

[ayu_ready?]

idk why ppl are so bothered with damn font. the covers're gorgeous and amazing. are there many good covers out there this year? shut the f up. Kuu's the best out there.

[emi♡]

oh there is a textless? yey! I don't have to make my own.

thank you ^_^

[love in music]

I hate that font.

[Minttulatte]

I think the font fits the covers perfectly. I even think the placing is quite good. I would have only use dark shadows on the text so it would be seen better from the color bomb background but that's all. Otherwise I think these are gorgeous and I want a wallpaper of all of them asap♥
