1940s Fonts
Explore our collection of 1940s fonts, wartime poster lettering and big band scripts from a decade of propaganda and swing.
The forties split its typography between the war effort and everything trying to distract from it. Propaganda posters used blunt condensed sans serifs and stencilled capitals; big band advertising kept the swinging scripts going. Both are period-perfect, and they still carry the decade's particular mix of urgency and escape.
