There are hundreds of paid-for and free fonts available online. We've got details of all sorts here on Creative Bloq – including tattoo fonts, cursive fonts and handwriting fonts. But for this article, we're going to focus on retro fonts.
Retro designs have the ability to transport audiences back in time so it's important to choose a typeface that reflects the era that you're representing. With the right font you can add age, texture and depth.
Here, we've selected some of our favourite retro-style font designs that won't cost you a penny.
01. Gradientico
If you're keen to nail the look of early 1990s desktop publishing, give Vladimir Nikolic's Gradientico a try. It's a fine-looking serif, bought to life by a splendidly scratchy halftone gradient that looks for all the world like it's just inched out of a dot matrix printer after a long session with Pagemaker. It comes in regular and italic versions, and it's free both for commercial and personal use.
FORMAT: TTF
02. Haike
Remember when computer fonts were supposed to look like this? Inspired by Moore Computer – a 1968 font designed for use with automatic cheque and document reading equipment – Haike, by Otto Maurer Design, is a fabulously retro vision of the future and comes in nine weights for all manner of uses. It's free for personal use; for commercial use you'll need a licensed version, which comes with extra Opentype features.
FORMAT: TTF
03. Haarlem Deco
Haarlem Deco is described by its creators, Fontdation, as a classic-retro-vintage-all-caps-semi-condensed-sans-serif typeface with an art-deco touch. Inspired by old Euro-American signage and advertising, it's available as a free demo version with limited characters; you can get the full version with italics, multilingual characters and more from Fontdation for just £13.
FORMAT: TTF
04. West Side
Inspired by handmade poster designs and illustrations from the 1980s, with maybe just a hint of Saul Bass, West Side is a block-styled, handcrafted display font created by Artimasa Studio. It's big and bold with sharp edges, and is free for both personal and commercial use.
FORMAT: OTF

FORMAT: OTF
