I wanted a good font for my kinetic text so I looked at a number of different ones I wanted one that had a retro feel but was also quite bold and strong. I wanted these as the speech is obviously old so the retro feel links into this but as well as this the font will be used on kinetic text so it is important to be large & bold so it has a strong impact on the video and the viewer. With this in mind I started looking through a bunch of different fonts to find one that fits, the following are the ones that I preferred most.
Each of these fonts has the retro feel I wanted cause they are all based around typewriter style fonts which I thought would help narrow down the search for the specific font I wanted. The king and NeoBulletin fonts are fairly similar with the King font appearing less computerised and more like it had been typed by a typewriter but at the same time the other font was more bold. 
The other fonts I picked here have a distorted style to them particularly the old newspaper types font as the edges almost appear like un-dryed ink which I think is a good effect on the font and in my kinetic speech might appear like someone is writing the speech as it is being spoken. The other font here is the AFL font which has the jagged edges again but might not be bold enough to work on screen and if I changed it to much it might lose some of it's styling. 
Overall these are the font that I have narrowed down too so now I just to experiment a little to see what one looks better with the text I plan to use it on.
