21 Retro Script Fonts from the 70s, 80s, and 90s

Retro Fonts for All!

Retro script fonts make a big impression and bring a feeling of nostalgia to any good design.

I love a good retro anything. And what’s great about design these days is that so many creatives are taking some of the best elements from past decades and incorporating them in new, contemporary ways. Not only does this bring a fresh look to designs, but it also ties the past and present together.

One of the best ways to bring a little retro into design is by using a font that has a more vintage feel. We’ve put together a list of our favorite retro script fonts from the 70s, 80s, and 90s for you to keep in your toolbox the next time you want to blend some old and new.

Enjoy!
