Imagine designing a luxury chocolate bar wrapper that needs that warm, nostalgic art deco touch. That's where Plaquette (by FaceType) comes in. This is actually a family of retro typefaces spanning everything from Victorian elegance to geometric Bauhaus to groovy sixties aesthetics, each bringing its own character and depth to period-specific design work.

The real power here is the OpenType toolkit built into every variant: alternates, stylistic sets, and discretionary ligatures that let you add personality without switching typefaces. Plaquette 3D serves up chromatic layers in gradient and outline versions, making it ideal for creating dimensional lettering on vintage-inspired packaging and poster designs. Plaquette Lovecraft pulls from art deco sensibilities with ligatures and alternates that make headlines sing, working beautifully for boutique label branding and luxury brand collateral. Plaquette Sittl strips things down to clean geometric forms inspired by Futura, great for mid-century aesthetic work or heritage logo redesigns. Plaquette Labels includes 220 decorative shapes for badge design, ornamental borders, and craft label applications.

Most designers appreciate that each typeface holds crispness at large display sizes, and the sheer range means you rarely need to hunt for complementary ornamentation elsewhere. It's a complete ecosystem for retro-leaning work. Find it on Creative Fabrica.
