Vintage lettering adds a touch of authenticity and character in an age that’s starting to feel overwhelmingly pixel-perfect. Inspired by multiple sources, this combination of art and design conveys originality using nostalgic textures, letterforms, and motifs.\nRegardless of whether you plan on creating your own hand-drawn letters or customizing an existing font, visual inspiration is key to an outstanding composition. Luckily, there are countless places and sources to find inspiration for vintage lettering.\nBy looking at real vintage items from days past, you can learn what typefaces were used in different eras, figure out what colors were commonly used in the words or designs, and decide what particular vintage aesthetic speaks to you and your product.\nHere are 20 of the best sources you can turn to for vintage lettering inspiration.\n

<\/span>Motels and Motel Signs<\/span><\/h2>

\nThe first real motel, as we know it today, was created by Kemmons Wilson<\/a>, the creator of the Holiday Inn<\/a>. This world-first roadside motel opened in Memphis, Tennessee in 1952. Wilson knew that he could use signage to attract weary travelers who were passing by on the highway, so he created a sign with neon lettering and an unmistakable mid-century feel to promote his motel.\n\"\"\nCheck out this great article<\/a> discussing the distinctive character of Holiday Inn signage by Seam Adams for FastCompany.\nSoon after, other motel companies and brands took stock of what Wilson was doing, and they, too, started using neon motel signs. Check out this helpful book, Vintage Neon<\/a>, to get an idea of what motel sign lettering looks like in real life. You can also run a Google image search for “vintage motel signs” or “vintage hotel signs” to stay inspired.\nSeveral Creative Market designers have created handmade typefaces that reflect a similar aesthetic, including Starlite Motel<\/a> by OnTheSpotStudio and Atomic DooDads<\/a> by bobarama.\n

<\/span>Farmers Market Signs<\/span><\/h2>

\nThere’s something wholesome and natural about a Farmers’ Market and its products. Farmers come to sell their goods, and they promote what they have using handcrafted signs, usually painted on wood or other materials they have handy at the farm.\n\"\"“Hunter’s Tree Farm” by Joe Mabel is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0<\/q>\n

<\/figure>\n \nA Farmers’ Market sign is a great source of inspiration for a vintage typeface that is rustic, country and truly old-fashioned. Check out an actual Farmers Market near you to see what these signs look like, or check out this helpful Pinterest <\/a>search results page full of ideas.\nIf you want to incorporate graphics into a design that uses Farmers Market sign lettering, this pack called Farmers Market<\/a> from Authentic Design<\/em> is a great option.\n
<\/figure>\n \nEd’s Market Specials<\/a> by Laura Worthington is a great type family to start with.\n

<\/span>Old Tin Boxes for Cosmetics or Candy<\/span><\/h2>

\nMany of the goods we buy today come in plastic or cardboard packaging. However, in eras past, products like cosmetics and candy were sold in tins. These tins don’t only make terrific collectibles, they’re also a great place to find inspiration for vintage typography.\n<\/p>

<\/span>Film Titles From the 1920s and 1930s<\/span><\/h2>

\nBack in the Golden Era of Hollywood (the 1920s and ’30s), movie titles were designed by hand. These title pages used ornate, intricate lettering, which evoked a glamorous, glitzy aesthetic. These bespoke titles often matched the particular aesthetic of the movie, making some of them distinctively romantic or mysterious.\n\"\"\nWatch old films on a streaming service like Netflix<\/a> to see what film titles actually<\/em> looked like in old movies. A good contemporary example is the font Blacklisted<\/a>, which is a film-centric font that harkens back to a specific Hollywood era.\n<\/p>

<\/span>Old Children’s Books<\/span><\/h2>

\nChildren’s books are a rich source of lettering ideas. Often elaborately illustrated by hand, these publications feature whimsical, entertaining, and naive type styles that can inspire your own design projects.\n<\/p>

<\/span>Downtown Street Signs and Murals<\/span><\/h2>

\nStreet signs of the past can evoke a specific time and place, sending messages about the preferred aesthetic styles of other eras. Vintage street art can be inspiring in a completely different way. Street art was often done with free reign by artists who chose to create where they wanted to, without a need for permission, so their creativity was boundless and limitless.\n

Take a look through country and city travel ads to see which typefaces speak to you.\nIf you want to see examples of vintage travel brochures and posters, check out this book of posters<\/a> from Patience Coster or these real-life brochures<\/a> available on eBay.\n<\/p>
