To the left we have Bevan, a simple slab font, which would work really well for achieving the image-in-text effect.

Lastly, and importantly, make sure your font is relatively simple, with each character being self-enclosed. What do I mean by that? Well, take a look at these two characters.Avoid any fonts that are too thin or light. When browsing font stores online, fonts tagged with ‘Display’ or ‘Slab’ will usually be a safe bet. You also need the character to reveal enough of the image to make a statement, so the character should have enough weight (thickness) to ensure this.Look for a font that has attractive uppercase characters, perhaps an elegant serif or an italicized script. The image-inside-text effect works best when you blow up a single character to large scale, which means that the design and shape of that single character will be hugely amplified.There are three things to consider when choosing a typeface: the shape of the character you want to fill with an image the weight of the character (whether it’s thick enough to allow the image to show through sufficiently) and the simplicity of the character (no textures or outlying bits and bobs). It’s really important to choose the right sort of typeface (font) when you’re creating an image-in-text effect.
