40 Free Fonts Ideal For Retro And Vintage Designs

Need a font to compliment your retro style designs? Below you will find a collection of 40 free fonts perfect for the job.

Vintage and retro style designs can be a beautiful thing. By using a combination of rough textures, grungy patterns and brushes meant to add a scratched or used appearance, designers can easily pull of the antique look. To compliment this aged appearance, it is important to use the proper typography to help match the style you are trying to represent. To help you out, I’ve rounded up 40 attractive retro and vintage fonts to use in your designs.

30+ Scribbles And Doodles Photoshop Brush Sets

For those of you have been keeping up with the blog, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve kind of been on a hand-drawn frenzy lately, incorporating the style within several recent posts. Most notably was the use of the doodled matchstick man in the recent post Photoshop Shortcuts – The Fun Way, which I really enjoyed putting together.

To kind of wrap things up as we move on to other avenues around here, I thought that I would go ahead and roundup some rather cool doodle Photoshop brushes. Use them as part of a design, use them to create a cool scene or just use them to play around with when you’re bored. Here are 30+ Scribbles and Doodles Photoshop Brush Sets.

While there are 30+ sets in this collection, there are a total of more than 300 brushes to choose from. If you’ve downloaded a set or two and used it, tell me your favorite or send a link to what you’ve created.

When it comes to doodles I’m usually into the natural styles including depictions of the sun, moon, clouds and cool rain drops. I immediately added a new favorite style while compiling this list when I came across the awesome Robot Doodle Brushes!
