Archaic 1897 font family by Pilaster Davy consists of 2 font styles that bring together timeless design with a touch of historical influence. Inspired by the elements of the past, this retro style font shines with its decorative flair and elaborate details which mimic the complexity of the previous centuries. It goes without saying, this font family’s formal aesthetic and commanding presence make it a wonderful choice for stylish and creative vintage-like designs. Combine these fonts together or use them in a complementary setting.
When it comes to projects, Archaic 1897 has lots of versatile opportunities. Implement its elegant and sophisticated design in magazines and book covers, apparel design, interior decoration, and branding and packaging projects. Poster and flyer designs have the option of standing out along with invitation cards for weddings and other special occasions. Websites and blogs can also have the historically-inspired font in headlines and more.
Enjoy this free font family for your personal projects only as its license does not cover commercial use. If you wish to use it commercially, the designer requests that you buy or donate for a license.
Archaic 1897 is another ATF revival.
Archaic 1897 is served free for personal use and as is, but I would encourage anyone downloading and using it to consider a modest donation to the "buy the author a beer" fund using the donate button on the right of this page. For use in commercial projects, a donation should be considered mandatory.
Hope you enjoy using Archaic 1897 as much as I enjoyed bringing it back to life.
Comments and suggestions for improvements are most welcome and will be heeded. Thank you once again to the mods and staff of Dafont for their time and patience, without which this would not have been possible.
