What it does
Font Diner publishes original retro typefaces and font sets inspired by mid-century popular culture. Its catalog includes style browsing, free personal-use fonts and licensing and installation guidance.
Font Diner narrows retro lettering into useful categories, including brush script, Art Deco, hot rod, monoline and western. You can also browse themed sets. On a font page such as Cherry Soda, enter your own text, change the preview size and select the number of users for a commercial licence. Individual-font purchase options are available as well as sets.
Silverware fonts are free for personal use. The current free-download form asks for an email address and includes subscription to Font Diner's news and offers; it sends the file by email. Paid client work, business promotion and merchandise require commercial coverage. The installation guide recommends extracting the ZIP and installing one font format, rather than activating both OTF and TTF copies of the same face.
