Designers have a plethora of comforts offered by modern technology at their expense, and yet when it comes to seeking a source of inspiration, many of us still cannot help going all the way to the past. It can’t be denied that wood block printing, the Gutenberg press and sweet hand-painted signs continue to make us gasp in awe with an alluring beauty that still holds strong despite the avalanching advancements of modern technology. This fascination with the past has resulted in a love affair in the creative community for vintage and retro typography. It’s not uncommon to see branding, typefaces and even websites and apps inspired by old school styles.
