Silent Film Fonts or Retro Fonts

Before there was movies with sound and movies with soundtrack, the old movies had no sound. They were silent. They are referred to as Silent Films. They used old fonts, which we now call Silent Film Fonts or Retro Fonts.

The Silent Film Fonts are a collection of fonts used in old silent movies. They include:
  1. Bellerose
  2. Chocolate Box
  3. Fontleroy Brown
  4. Noir-et-Blanc
  5. Rechtman
  6. Absinthe
  7. Porte

Retro fonts are designed to look aged (old).


Some fonts add a personal touch as they are fashioned after actual handwriting. Examples of script font include:
  1. Journey to Thailand
  2. Chopin Script
  3. Scriptina
  4. Athena of the Ocean

Typewriter fonts are fonts which were available on the typewriter (before we had computers). They include:
  1. Moms typewriter
  2. Special Elite
  3. Underwood Champ
  4. Last Draft
  5. 1942 Report
  6. Veteran Typewriter
