We’re breathing new life into antique type!

This font is part of our growing collection of restored typefaces, carefully revived from original specimens in the Century Library archive. Each one is a direct translation of the past – scanned, cleaned up, and converted into a working font so you can actually use these historic letterforms, not just look at them.

These aren’t modern interpretations or redesigns. What you see is what was once printed – charming imperfections and all. The character set is limited to what was available in the original source material, which varies from font to font.

Perfect for adding an authentic vintage feel to your designs – whether you’re working on a book cover, a poster, branding, or just something personal – these fonts carry all the texture, age, and personality you’d expect from type that’s over a century old.

The type foundry and print shop of old would create books, like the one this image was discovered within, to help customers and clients with their design choices. Naturally, these books were jam packed with useful illustrative elements that could be combined to create a final piece. Today, these books are extremely difficult to get a hold of. Especially those that were published in the late 1800s. They were not mainstream publications, they simply served as ‘catalogs’ and thus were only produced in small numbers. Fortunately, we were introduced to a collector who had precisely what we had been searching for for so long. After some costly negotiations, we’re very excited to be able to share the wonderful gems within.
