Why are they called vintage letters
Before going on to give you the great list of vintage letters that we have selected for you, we want to explain the reason why vintage fonts are called that.
For this, we have to take us back to the golden age of graphic design. That is, when everything was done manually and millimetrically. That brings us back to the 20s, when the designers themselves were inspired by manual art and used their calligraphy technique to create styles that, even today, are still valid.
Se characterized by having a lot of personality and capturing the attention of those who see it. It makes the designs look closer and connect better with the public.
In fact, if you notice, many brands, instead of using images, are encouraged to use only letter fonts, some of them vintage letters, with great results.
Compilation of free vintage letters
Vintage fonts are very easy to find on the Internet. Nevertheless, There are two types: on the one hand, those that won't cost you a penny; and, on the other, those that do involve a financial outlay. The difference between them is not much. It is true that the paid ones tend to be more elaborate and fall in love more, but that does not mean that you find other vintage fonts that cause the same effect.
For this reason, below we are going to leave you a list of vintage letters, in this case free, so that you can incorporate them into your collection and, in this way, increase your library of fonts and have the ideal one for each project you carry out.
Kilogram
We started with a vintage letter Kallegraphic artwork. It's not actually my own creation, but was based on another source, Anagram. However, it draws attention and reminds a bit of the old style of the 20-80s.
You have uppercase, lowercase, special characters, and numbers.
Team spirit
With a certain '50s feel to it, this is one of the vintage lettering that adorns itself. If you see it letter by letter, you may like the uppercase typeface more than the lowercase one, but the truth is that, when you start to write, you realize that that bottom line that all the letters have join together, creating a curious design and a high quality finish, as if you were underlining.
This font is also very similar to Buffalo Nickel, other free vintage letters that you can use.
Berlin
This source we do not recommend it for you to use it very often, less for long texts, yes for short words. And it is characterized by creating geometric letters, so fashionable at the beginning of the last century.
You will find four versions, from the most original (which will look like a painting) to the softest, where you can read more.
leathery
You're a European Belle Epoque buff? Well this is one of the best vintage letters that you have to have in your collection. Set at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, just before the First World War was declared, it is a bohemian and elegant typeface, striking for the twists of its capital letters (it does not have lowercase).
BlackRoom
In this case the vintage letters have a Gothic connotation. They have been created by Utku Kurt and what stands out the most about them are that old touch, perhaps even from the Middle Ages, due to those twists and turns.
Rio Grande
Do you want vintage lettering that looks like something out of the west? Well, Rio Grande is one of the best known, and also the ones you see and they remind you of those western movies.
Yes, from what we see are only available in uppercase (Lowercase vintage letters are rare).
Graphique pro next
This vintage typeface comes with a gimmick. And is that Although it has eight different styles, and that you could combine them all, the truth is that, free, there is only one.
But you can always try to see what you think.
Vintage Font
Created by aleph, it is a vintage letter that stands out from all the others that we are leaving you because It not only offers you a letter, but also a graphic element in itself. It is ideal for work with florists and the like, which allows you to create a much more special design.
This one in particular has enchanted us for that combination of colors and creation with the letters (all capital letters) that it offers us, perfect for a logo or to decorate on a web page.
Scottish Display
In this case, you do have it available in both uppercase and lowercase. Stands out because it has a curious way of putting the letter 's', with a bar running through it. In addition, each letter is stained, as if they were dirt, giving it a more shabby look.
Retro Metro
This is one of the vintage letters from the 20s that has caught our attention the most. As with many, it only has capital letters and, as an extra, umlauts, but nothing else.
But yes that It gives us the feeling of those series from the 20s that had that type of typography.
Park line
Another of the vintage fonts is this one, also based on the 20s and again only available in capital letters, numbers and umlauts. Dispose of regular and bold format.
On the Internet you can find many more vintage letters, also free, but with these we have thought that you have a good repertoire of various types of fonts. Would you recommend us any more that you liked?
