1. Find a Trendy Vintage Design
Modern-vintage is quite a popular design trend in fonts these days. Designers use this trend by mixing modern elements with vintage themes to create unique fonts with character designs that stand out from the crowd. There are many other vintage-themed trends you can adopt as well. Find one that fits your project.

You’ll find fonts with designs inspired from all these eras in our curated list. Be sure to pick one that’s appropriate for your design.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix and Match
Finding the right pairing font for your vintage font can be a difficult process. But, you can use a simple trick to pick the right font pair that complements each other. The solution is to use a mix of a serif font and sans-serif font. As long as both fonts have vintage designs, they will pair well like peanut butter and jelly.
4. Consider Readability
Of course, you should always put your readers first and focus on improving the user experience in every way possible. This also applies to fonts as well. Most vintage-themed fonts have quite complicated designs that make them harder to read, especially from a distance. Keep this in mind when choosing a vintage font for your design.
5. Create a Timeless Look
One of the advantages of using vintage designs is they never go out of style. With a vintage font, you get to create a classic and timeless look that’ll stand the tests of time. So choose a font that relates to your brand, audience, and culture to make more impactful designs.
