Fonts: Garamond, Crunk Regular, and Black Cow

Garamond: I see a very clean font, utilizing sans serif. It is elegant, yet simple as well. I could see the typeface being employed for a clothing company, bakery, or wedding dress shoppe. The font is eye-pleasing, calm, and pleasant.

Crunk Regular:  The font has a grunge-like feel, futuristic type of font. It actual reminds me of a post-apocalyptic society. The font makes one feel a little uneasy, but not horribly. The typeface would work well on an alien spaceship...for sure.

Black Cow: Of the three fonts posted, this is quite possibly the most bizarre of all. The letters appear to move, as if they were snakes; It makes one feel uneasy, horribly uneasy. The font would work for scaring off trespassers (signage), or if one wanted to upchuck.
