How to Choose the Best 60s Fonts for Your Project

That concludes our roundup of the best 60s fonts. Many of the options on this list are versatile enough to work well in all sorts of designs, but here are a few tips to help you pick out the perfect font for your next project.

Consider What Aspect Of the 60s You’re Hoping to Capture in Your Design

The 1960s means different things to different people. To some, the 60s is about rock ‘n’ roll. To others, it’s the decade man landed on the moon. Others still might associate the 60s with the anti-war movement, fun-loving hedonism, or psychedelic drugs.

Every font designer will have their own idea of what the 60s is, and will focus on different aspects. The font you should choose will depend on the specific aspect of the 60s you’re trying to evoke in your project. Start by asking yourself what that is, and then go from there.

Always Check the Font License

We’ve included both free and paid 60s fonts on this list. Before you use one of the free 60s fonts, make sure you check its font license. Some 60s fonts will only be free for personal use and you may have to purchase a paid license to use them in commercial projects. If you sign up for Envato Elements, you can use any font on the site for both personal and commercial projects.

Don’t Forget To Think About Legibility

Often, designers get so hung up on choosing a font that matches the aesthetic style they’re going for, that they forget to think about legibility. Some fonts are only readable at large display sizes and won’t work well on small thumbnails, body text, etc. Make sure you consider readability when comparing your options.
