About Astro Retro
Astro Retro earned its place here for one reason: it is a straight answer to 2 style font, and straight answers are rarer in this font catalogue than you would think. It stands at 4.8 out of 5 across 5 reviews, and we read the low scores first when there are any. Credit goes to Mantype Jaya. It has 126 saves behind it — enough that we trust the demand, not just our own taste.
The join between letters is the whole craft in a script face, so we look at a word with a repeated letter before judging anything else. Our own plan for it is 70s font, because that is where this kind of font does the least arguing with you. With a score that steady we would download it without much thought — still, open the preview full size first, because that is where the detail either holds up or does not.

How to use this font
- Download the font from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — you normally get OTF and TTF of the same face, plus a licence file.
- Install the OTF if your software gives you the choice: it carries the alternates and ligatures that make a script face look handwritten.
- Restart the app you design in — Canva, Photoshop, Cricut Design Space and Word all read the font list once, at launch.
- Read the licence before a paid job: personal and commercial use are priced apart, and a logo often needs the extended one.
