  1. Serif
  2. Sans-Serif
  3. Script and Handwritten

A business name which is short can be represented in bold. Few fashion studios would like to make a bold statement to its customers hence a heavy font is used.

When you start a logo design, the first and foremost thing to take care of regarding fonts is never used more than 3 fonts in the logo. Fonts must follow a hierarchy, the business name should be in larger fonts followed by the tagline in another font and in a smaller size, presenting your logo in this way you let your users know the sequence of importance. If you would like your logo to be read clearly from long distance, try choosing a bold font. Likewise if you choose a typeface which is best optimised for web then your logo will look good both in bigger display and smaller one, this is applicable for the digital space usage. 

When you feel a font will be suitable for the logo element, then before you download the font check whether you have the appropriate licence to use it, if not buying the licence will help to use for commercial purposes and to avoid copyright issues.
