typography research

since we need the headlines for the new stories we're working on, i'd like to suggest the following styles for the typography.

1. bloody stories can have:

1.1 calligraphic type, not very complicated, pretty informative (resembles old document = law and crime matters or scary fairy tales = crime and blood)

1.2 on the contrary, go crazy attention-catching - like pop, comic "bang" sounds, newspaper letters cut-outs etc.

some of Lichtenshtein works:

Sin City, Marvel comic example of bright typography:

2. erotic stories' headlines might go 2 routes as well:

2.1 either quite simple, playboy resembling type

or simple as well like in Rodchenko's work "About It" (collage for Mayakovskij poem cover)

2.2 psyhodelic, over the top, almost unreadable, fluid and aglint.
a sample of erotic magazine's typography:

samples from "summer of love":
