Smashing magazine recently had a nice review of websites designed in a retro style. Below you’ll find examples of 15 retro fonts I’ve got in my own font bag that you might be interested in for your web or graphic design projects, along with links to the websites you can dowload the fonts from.
Fontdiner is a terrific site with free and paid for fonts available.
Girls Who Wear Glasses have a large number of free fonts available, here’s a few of their retro styles that I liked.
Fontoville have some lovely paid for Retro fonts but also generously give away these:
Typographica host the Hitchcock font by Matt Terich as an homage to the iconic lettering by Saul Bass.
Rotodesign also offer some free retro fonts to download.

Hi Nicola
Glad you like the fonts! Did you get your plugin working ok?
Hi!
No – I didnt get the plugin to work – we dont have WordPress downloaded onto our computer to be able to add widgets etc. I dont think that I can do it online?

Great post, Jennifer! I am so happy to see fontdiner.com get out there, I am a huge fan of their typefaces. I bought my first font collection from them, their fantastic Casino Buffet Collection. I love the 50′s & 60′s design & typography.
Hi Devlin, I love fontdiner too – tons of cool stuff on their site.
