While the future holds joy and possibility yet unknown, there is a certain nostalgia and comfort that is found in the past.
(Well… the pre-2020 past. Let’s face it: it’s unlikely that anyone is going to look back at 2020 with nostalgia or comfort.)
Vintage design elements have a way of recalling idyllic settings long since past and that’s part of the reason why retro design remains a popular style, even in our technology-driven contemporary era.
Established by graphic designer and illustrator Pavel Korzhenko, Vintage Voyage Design creates assets that take any design project on a voyage straight into the past.
Pavel surrounds his personal space with plenty of vintage objects that provide him with an endless source of inspiration for his work through Vintage Voyage Design, which provides design assets that cover everything from the Victorian era through the late twentieth century and beyond.
Vintage Voyage Design offers type designs, textures, effects, and even automated creation tools that enable designers to craft posters or cartoon portraits in minutes.
One of Vintage Voyage Design’s most recent releases through YouWorkForThem is Minorica Handwritten Collection, a playful type family that makes it easy to incorporate a retro hand lettering style with roughened pencil texture.
Minorica Handwritten Collection features rustic character sets in a variety of styles that work well together or alone – giving graphic designers a lot of versatility in their work.
Minorica Serif features hand-printed all-caps serif lettering along a bouncing baseline that carries a heavy retro aesthetic. While Minorica Serif offers one solid Regular variant, its Inline, Stroke, and Line variants can be used to create three-dimensional effects that’ll take any design to the next level.
Minorica Sans offers the same four variations in style, however, it features upper and lowercase characters in a heavier weight that conveys every message with a little more playfulness.
Minorica Script is a connective cursive brush script that rounds out the font family. Featuring thin strokes and elegant curls with minimal flourish, Minorica Script includes upper and lowercase characters that offer great legibility.
The entire family is accentuated by Minorica Decoration, a series of hand-drawn banners, shapes, doodles, and decorative accents that add the perfect finishing touch to any design project.
Minorica Handwritten Collection is ideal for any design project that needs an authentically-textured handcrafted appearance, including logos, product packaging, merchandise, apparel, greeting cards, invitations, displays, signage, menus, book covers, album artwork, website designs, and even mobile applications. It’s a great choice for branding and identity projects that need a heavy retro aesthetic.
Minorica Serif extends multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Catalan, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, Pan African Latin, and Dutch. Minorica Sans offers standard ligatures, discretionary ligatures, and stylistic alternates, extending multilingual support to Basic Latin, Western European, Euro, Baltic, Turkish, Central European, Romanian, and Pan African Latin languages. Minorica Sans covers the same international languages, with exception given to Turkish and Romanian.
Vintage Voyage Design currently offers 46 products through YouWorkForThem, including type designs, paint and ink textures, midcentury cartoon illustration elements, and even photograph effects.
