^seriously...I never got the feeling ever that her fonts were bad or ruined any cover...they aren't omg drop dead amazing...but they serve their purpose...

the only time text ever really bothered me on a cover, was the NEXT LEVEL cover where they threw her name in the corner like nothing lol

Most of her fonts are pretty similar, no?

STEP you/is this LOVE?'s font sucks.. they could use wilder fonts.

Bold & Delicious/Pride has bad font too. Well, not like the cover is very good to begin with. haha.

Secret's cover, they should use some flowy font instead of Arial.

I think the worst one is STEP you/is this LOVE? cover. When I first saw it I was like "OMG! Seriously? Who made this?" Despite that I plan on getting the single. XD

So true, it was Impact, and it was WHITE, of all the colours they could have chose to go with the theme. They should've gone crazier.

glitter/fated was sad too. The font and the COLOUR of the text, haha. They pretty much used a default rainbow gradient, and that's not good. Made it look so cheap too :/

All of Ayu's single and album fonts are fine and really matches the theme, but there are some that doesn't meet my artistic standards.

for example:

> "vogue" is too big

> My beloved "B&D/Pride" (CD+DVD) was so matched to the background.
I can't barely see it.

> glitter/fated special effect on the font looks so typical and ordinary.
Why they don't use something sparkling around the font instead of rainbow gradient?

> "Trust" was horrible.
I don't like the cascading effect and its infront of Ayu's face is >X-P

> "STEP you/is this LOVE?" is also horrible.
Its waay too big for the cover and it occupies about 1/4th of the single's cover.

> TO BE was too simple.

> On Mirrorcle World's first press (CD+DVD, YOU version), the font color matches the hair.

> NEXT LEVEL font placement was so unusual, I somewhat didn't like the idea.
