[Tex/LaTex] CMR Font selection and fancy header formatting

colorcomputer-modernfontsheader-footerroman

I am trying to accomplish the following:

Chapters like "Chapter1" in CMCSC10 font between two thin lines
After that Chapter name like "Introduction" in CMR17 font
The paragraph body in CMR12 font

I am looking to create a format as in the document
here.

Also I need to write the header and footer in a very small weight say 8 , with a faded offwhite color in italics.

My Class file looks like this

% report classs for writing thesis
\ProvidesClass{mtechthesis}[2015/05/16 Thesis class]
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
%\DeclareOption{print}{\def\@cv@print{}}
\DeclareOption*{%
  \PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{report}%
}
\ProcessOptions\relax
\LoadClass{report}

\renewcommand*{\familydefault}{\rmdefault}


% To use graphics
\usepackage{graphicx}
% My Images folder
\graphicspath{{myimages/}}
% To put images between text and positioning
\usepackage{float}

%% paper margins
\usepackage[a4paper,width=150mm,top=25 mm,bottom=25mm]{geometry}

\RequirePackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\mdseries\Huge}
  {\filleft\Large\chaptertitlename~\thechapter}
  {3ex}
  {\titlerule\vspace{1.5ex}\filright}
  [\vspace{1ex}\titlerule]

My Main tex file looks like this..

\documentclass[12pt]{mtechthesis}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LO]{\tiny \textit{My Thesis title}}


% footer page number
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[RO]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot[LO]{\small \textit{My universityname}}

%header footer font size not working
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.2pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.2pt}

\title{
{My thesis Title}\\
{\large University name}\\
{\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Logo.jpg}}

I am new to latex. Please tell me how to modify my class file so as the mentioned specifications and effects takes place.

If you don't provide MWE then I started with plain TeX example. All specifications (you mentioned) are implemented here.

\input opmac

\font\smcaps=cmcsc10 \regfont\smcaps
\def\printchap#1{\vfil\break
  \headline={\hfil\global\headline={\printheadline}}
  \gdef\headtext{#1}

  \hrule

    \mtext{chap} \dotocnum{\thechapnum}}
  \hrule
  \vskip20pt
  {\typosize[17/22]\rm \hfill #1\nbpar}\mark{}%
  \nobreak \vskip2cm \firstnoindent
}
\typosize[12/14]

\def\printheadline{\localcolor\Grey\bi\thefontsize[8]\the\pageno\ 
   \hfil\ \headtext\unskip}

\chap Introduction

This is first chapter
\vfil\break

Next page where the headline occurs...

This is easily done with TikZ which you're already loading. I didn't set any margins, but if you're using twoside, maybe you want proper margins for the binding. If so, let me know and I'll fix the example.
