The “vintage” in Vintage Voyage does not require Columbo or Sherlock Holmes to suss out. This gorgeous collection is as clearly bookended by the 20th Century as the years that define it, or to be more exact, a period from about 1920 to 1980.
And Vintage Voyage does it great. Take a quick look at their collection and appreciate its massive wingspan. It can drop you into New York’s Harvard Club in 1925 where a stockbroker is reading the very first issue of the New Yorker, or into a 1960s film featuring dune buggies, beaches, and zany parties. Consider their Pacifica font to name one of several that hit the bullseye for anything 60s or 70s. Or let Vintage take you to a bar on the outskirts of Memphis in 1959, back when desolate country songs cured loneliness by surrounding you with ghosts of those you wronged. Consider their font Country Blues for what’s left of the broken sign over this haunted bar’s door. Check out the whole amazing collection and take off on your own Vintage Voyage.
Their latest offering Grodsky is solidly in the early 20th Century end of the Vintage Voyage spectrum. True to its studio’s name, this stately font suggests travel. Not today’s travel of long lines, searches, and blah service, but a time when travel meant suits and gowns, not shorts and backpacks. That’s because this high contrast Antiqua is smart and wordly, classy and reserved. It takes a ship from New York to France, never the discount flight. Its pronounced serifs, contrasting geometry, and elegant lines are along for the trip, perfect for your magazine and the titles within. An article about Margaret Dumont, perhaps. Grodsky’s interplay of right angles and flowing lines exude classiness from an earlier time, which makes it the perfect font for today’s magazines, advertisements, articles, headings or text, film titles and credits. The list has no end, but whatever your project, Grodsky will open doors.
Grodsky offers stylistic alternates, ligatures, and true small caps, giving more authentic typographic style. It also comes with oldstyle and modern, fraction and tabular figures. Grodsky comes in two weights and true Italics. Multilingual, including Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian Portuguese, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss German.
