The 34 Best Free Vintage Fonts on Canva (2024)

Canva offers an incredible selection of fonts that vary in style and branding. But today’s post we wanted to dedicate exclusively to vintage fonts on Canva – certainly not lacking in choice. By now, almost everyone reading this probably uses Canva. If you don’t, read this post and check out what they have to offer – it’s plenty!

*Full Affiliate Disclosure – I do not make a penny from Canva, so this is not endorsed in any way. Because we just love writing about design and branding, we decided to put together the best canva fonts, vintage edition for you!

As most of you reading are artists or creatives, some of the places you’re using fonts are on your website, marketing content, social media content, email newsletters and product cards, notes or care instructions. Vintage typography is so beautiful to look at, especially in old magazine ads, bottles, labels and posters.

But, how can you incorporate that look into these digital designs without coming across as dated or tacky?

In this post, I’m sharing a list of the best free Canva vintage fonts that you can start using in your designs today in a modern and elegant way. Let’s get into it!

Design and Vintage Canva Font Styles

When you hear the word “vintage,” what comes to mind? For me, it’s old labels on bottles, classic letterforms in magazines, careful typography and timeless charm all put together. But how do we incorporate vintage design and the right fonts without feeling dated and even, how do we combine vintage and modern to play between old and new in our online content? We have many artists at The Good Canvas who’s art has a vintage feel, and they want to use vintage fonts on their website but don’t want that to define their brand, so we’ve compiled our favourite vintage / modern combinations so that you’re content still feels fresh and modern but with a little vintage throw back.

Because I love vintage design so much, I put together a little Pinterest board here but I’m also sharing a few of them here that covers some of the styles that inspired this post.

34 of the Best Free Vintage Fonts and Pairings in Canva

Here’s my comprehensive Canva Font Guide (Vintage Edition) and carefully curated collection of the best Canva font pairings, to help you pair vintage with modern in a subtle way.

Why We Love Canva

Almost all of the retro fonts I mentioned in this guide are available on the free version of Canva, which is really great for anyone to use and get started! But, if you want even more font options in Canva, you can try the Canva Pro plan for free for 30 days. Those canva pro fonts are distinguished with a little crown icon to the right when you’re browsing the font list in Canva. You can use all of those for commercial use.

For that 30-day free trial of Canva Pro you can head over here and just try it. In addition to a TON of extra fonts, you also get incredible stock photos, template creation tools and one that is great for artists and anyone selling products, the image background eraser, which will help you get rid of background when you want to showcase just a piece or art, craft or product in a shoppable posts. There are also many other amazing graphic design tool features that are really worth it.

Truthfully, of all the programs or apps that I use here at The Good Canvas, Canva Pro is probably my most frequented. Have fun designing!
