40 Of the best Free vintage Fonts picked by professional designers

Vintage Fonts

In the past few articles on Web Design Ledger, we tried to bring into your attention some of the most important categories of fonts:

modern, classic, and retro. Today we will continue with another important category: Vintage Fonts. Designers say that, in order for a fashion product, be it clothing, font, or a decorative piece, to become “vintage” they need at least 40-years-period from the time they were released. Based on that definition, we could consider anything older than 40 as being vintage, or new products that have the vintage vibe, well, not vintage. So in order to make peace with everybody, the fonts our professional designers have chosen for this article, are exclusively based on their looks, not on the time they were created.

What particularities do vintage fonts have? you might be wondering. Well, as dictionaries tell us, vintage means “something from the past of high quality, especially something representing the best of its kind.” My question then is: are vintage fonts the best? They may very well be for some. Usually, vintage fonts stand out because of their complex details, exquisite calligraphy, and versatile looks.

Keeping these details in mind, we’ve put together a list of some of our favorite vintage fonts, both free and premium, so you can stay stocked up.
