40 Free Fonts Ideal For Retro And Vintage Designs (Chapter 2)

So you’ve finally finished that poster or design for a client, yet you feel that it’s missing a certain “je ne sais quoi”. You can’t seem to point your finger at it, yet it seems to be lacking something.

Hopefully, these free fonts will fill in that empty gap and improve the overall aesthetics of your design.

Typography is what language looks like. - Ellen Lupton

You may be wondering, with a ton of free fonts floating around, why 23 and not 100? Well, there may be a lot of free fonts online, but how many of them are seriously good? How many of them would actually fit your project and make them more appealing?

Sure, I could have created a list with 100 fonts but it would have compromised the quality of this list. As you probably know, quality always beats quantity.

Find What You Were Looking For?

I’m hoping that you found at least one new font to add to your collection. I did my best to use each font in a sort of vintage style design so that you could see it in action.

Let the rest of us know in the comment section below. Thanks!

How to change the size of the touch and on-screen keyboard in Windows 10

Windows 10 PCs come with two keyboard apps, one is the OnScreen Keyboard , and the other is the Touch Keyboard . Basically, you don't need a touch screen to use the on-screen keyboard. It displays a virtual keyboard on the screen and you can use the mouse to select and press the keys. Although the on-screen keyboard app is very useful when we don't have a physical keyboard, its size is always a problem for users. You can move or enlarge the virtual keyboard from the icons in the upper right corner. If you want, you can also easily resize it. Changing the size of the on-screen keyboard is very easy. Type On-Screen Keyboard in your Windows search and run the desktop app, or you can also go via Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard> Turn on the On-screen keyboard. To change the size of the on-screen keyboard, move the cursor to the corner and drag it to the desired size. Resizing the touch keyboard is as simple as doing it! Just drag it and resize it us...

Designing the Windows 8 touch keyboard.

When we began planning how touch and new types of PCs might work on Windows 8, we recognized the need to provide an effective method for text entry on tablets and other touch screen PCs. Since Windows XP SP1, which had Tablet PC features built in, Windows has included a touchable on-screen keyboard. But those features were designed as extensions to the desktop experience. For Windows 8, we set out to improve on that model and introduce text input support that meets people’s needs, matches our design principles, and works well with the form factors we see today and expect to see in the future. I’m writing this blog post on our Windows 8 touch keyboard using the standard QWERTY layout in English. As I look at it, the keyboard seems very simple and sort of obvious. This comes partly from having worked on it for a while, but also because keyboards are familiar to us. But there is more here than meets the eye (or, fingertips). We started planning this feature area with no preco...

Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use.

Windows 10 will be compatible with most existing PC hardware; most devices running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 will meet the requirements for Windows 10. For full system requirements, see Windows 10 specifications. Some driver updates may be required for Windows 10. Existing desktop (Win32) application compatibility is also expected to be strong, with most existing applications working without any changes. Some applications that interface with Windows at a low level, those that use undocumented APIs, or those that do not follow recommended coding practices could experience issues. Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use. - The World of Windows. Contents: [ hide ] Windows 10 compatibility reaches most of the hardware currently in use. Existing Windows Store (WinRT) apps created for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 should also continue to work, because compatibility can be validated against all the apps that have been submitted to the Windows ...
