5 Free Art Deco Fonts

noreply@blogger.com (Audee Mirza) — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:37:00 +0000

Art Deco architecture movement was started in Europe in the first decade of the 20th century and its aesthetic is often characterized by stylized and geometric shapes. The influence of this modern and elegant style also can be seen in typography. The 'Art Deco' font/typeface is always used in display designs with the retro feel and look as their decorative nature. Here are just a few of them and I meant only list the simplest look of Art Deco font which you can download for free. Uppercase typeface, highly condensed and fairly low or extreme high horizontal crossbars are mostly their characteristic. Read More

Aprille Display

Aprille Display is a set of Art Deco style font with geometric look on the glyphs and numeral characters. Some characters are as roundy as solid circle and some are condensed with high crossbar. Pretty simple one.

Hill House

Hill House font is designed based on the distinctive handwriting of Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). You can embed it for a web design project with Cufon or with @font-face. Another font embedding kits are also accessible on Typekit and Kernest.

Magna

Magna is created with a unique "vintage" style. The typeface is categorized as black condensed and the set contains capital characters and the numerals are very much stylized but keeping their entire construction dead simple.

SF Speakeasy

Speakeasy is a distinctive bold Art Deco type family where you can also download the oblique set. Each of them consist of 202 Glyphs and that's a fairly big number compared to the other font listed here.

Valencia

Valencia is condensed typeface that has 5 weights, with matching obliques for each weight. Its uniqueness stems from it's low horizontal crossbars and its full-circle curves.

Penguin is cute, penguins is a unique kind of a bird. :D As aquatic birds, the tuxedoed penguins have the ability to dive and hunt at ocean depths where no other bird can go. But today we won't discuss about that further :D

Beside the popularity and trend of Owl logo designs, I just want to show you, that Penguin can also be nicely visualized as a logo design. Not so clear why some companies choose Penguin as their mascot identity. One of the reason is maybe because of the penguin's ability to adapt in some extreme environments. Here are some handpicked of 20 Penguin Logo Designs for your inspiration, which were taken from various logo galleries and logo marketplaces.

“the fifth element” by Tom Whalen

I got a (Prospect) Dribbble account yesterday and has been liking many number of dribbbled designs made by the amazing players over there.
One of all star Dribbble players I stumbled upon was Tom Whalen of StrongStuff.net. A great illustrator who has designed lots of colorful poster related to movies or comic characters. The poster designs are often implement retro color scheme or style but how Tom composing illustration figures, textures and typography is definitely clever! I enjoy myself surfing StrongStuff on Tumblr and reblogged one of Tom Whalen's infography-illustration poster: "Ghostbusters" as I'm a (probably the only one) fan of Slimer :-p
