About Picky Retro

This is the one we reach for when the request is 4th of july. Picky Retro keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. It is william jhordy's work. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist. It sits at 4 saves — too few to call it popular, which is exactly why it is worth a look before everyone else finds it.

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. Put it to work on background first. If it survives that, it will survive whatever you had in mind next. Before downloading, give the preview a full-size look and read the licence tab — two clicks, and they answer most of what the listing leaves unsaid.

How to use this font

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

Groovy Retro

Seventies script with baseball and apparel in its DNA. Ten reviews, all five stars. Heavier and looser than the usual holiday calligraphy, which is exactly why…
