While downloading some fonts onto my husbands netbook, I one again got sucked into looking at fonts. Which means you get another compilation of the best steampunk fonts I could find. Looking at hundreds of fonts and asking yourself, "Is this steampunk?" is an interesting exercise. You have to start thinking about what a steampunk style really is, at its core. I decided steampunk included some combination of the following attributes: antique, distressed, and elaborate.
Fleet Street -
This font looks like old newspaper headline print. Simple but antiquated.
Admiration Pains -This may look impossible to read, but with only the first letter of each word capitalized, it looks really neat.
Arrr Matey BB - A pirate-y font.
Moonshiner Sharp - Another bold title font, this would be great for advertisements.
Old Printing Press - I adore this distressed and messy typeface.
Handwriting Draft - I love the barely there drafting lines in this one.
Renny Hybrid - Elegant, antique, and modern.
Ornamental Versals - For that Victorian storybook feel.
Feathergraphy Decoration - Elaborate calligraphy with a touch of attitude.
Sucker Font - Yes, I realize this is a version of the
Sucker Punch font, and I try to avoid movie fonts, but this font is too great to pass up. Also, it's not ultra-recognizable.
Crimson Petal - A book/miniseries font (The Crimson Petal and the White). I like the rounded and distressed type.
Geared Up - Speaks for itself a bit, don't it?
