Great. This is helping to narrow things down. What do you like about Mercury? Why don’t you like about Mercury?

I would suggest researching what kind of things your audience likes; what kind of clothes do they wear (what design is on their t-shirt) what do the graphics look like on the cover of the cd’s, etc. Does all this relate to the font you have chosen? Does it speak the same language?
Hope this helps
