Vintage Fonts – Hang a Ribbon on the Moon

Here is installment two in my Font Favorites series. Right now I’m working on our annual family newsletter to send with our Christmas cards. This year, I want to use a vintage-inspired design scheme (think 1950’s) and, of course, 1950’s-style fonts. As I searched the internet and my font collection for the perfect typeface for my newsletter greetings, I found seven wonderful vintage-style script fonts to share with you. They make perfect retro titles and headlines. Click on the previews or font names to go to their download pages.
