This is the font I was planning to use for my masthead. I have chosen this font as it suites the style of the type of magazine I am aiming to create, that being indie rock. The font is deliberately blocky and bold as it connotes masculinity, which is prevalent within the rock genre. The way the masthead is spelled is also deliberate in order to further relate it to the rock genre.
This font would work well as a basic type face for my magazine as it is very easily read and follows the general conventions of the indie rock genre. The font is made to appear as if it were from a typewriter which relates the the indie genre as many independent artists have low production costs due to their independence from a large producer. So by using a typewriter-esque font it gives the appearance that the media does not have access to something such as a computer which furthers the connection to the indie genre.
Similar to Bebas Neue, Lemon Milk, would make a suitable font for cover lines due to it's bold and straight-edged look. This makes it stand out more than other fonts and will help contrast it from the background it's on and any surrounding elements of the magazine.
Good choice and excellent justification.
