Art Deco Fonts

Even though art deco has quite a distinctive style, there's no single font associated with this movement. Instead, there are hundreds of different art deco fonts in existence, with some of the more famous, established examples including Futura and Bifur, and other options available in the Creative Market collection including Gatsby Gilmour, Bellochero, and Rothe. All of these art deco fonts are slightly different but share similar characteristics and an innate ability to evoke the art deco mood.

There are hundreds of high quality fonts that evoke the unique spirit and style of the art deco movement available in the Creative Market collection. Some of them are very traditional in nature, following the classic examples of authentic art deco posters and signage, like Gatsby Gilmour and Bellochero. Others bring their own unique quirks or playful elements into the mix, adding something fresh and different to the art deco foundation, like 5th Avenue, Alathena, Emberline, and Nouveau Nostalgia.

Microsoft Word has a large range of art deco-style fonts for users to try. Some famous examples include Broadway, Gill Sans, Metropolis, Limelight, and Century Gothic, and to truly honor the art deco design movement, users are often encouraged to type in all caps when working with these kinds of fonts.

Art deco lettering is the name given to any fonts or typefaces that evoke the classic art deco design movement of the 1920 and 30s. Art deco fonts typically feature very clean lines and symmetrical shapes, with elongated letters and high levels of contrast, with a mixture of thin and thick strokes that often strike a delicate balance between ornateness and simplicity. Such fonts work especially well at evoking a sense of elegance and luxury.
