What font should I choose?

It doesn’t matter how ugly it is, I’m not going to name one because you’re the only one that can choose, choose one that no one has ever used. Make it memorable.

That really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s not for me at all. I know what fonts are my favorites. The purpose is to appeal to those who will hopefully be buying my goods.

Thanks, though.

peedub the last link isnt working for me for some reason. So of the first three i think liked the first one the most, it reminds me of the D.A.N.C.E. video heh. I dont really like stencil letters much either though.

Thanks Uber, your opinion means a lot to me (haha). Yeah, I never use the word “fun” to describe things like fonts but it does have a fun sort of quality to it. I think it could work very well with some of the items. I guess I could always change it up if want.

Hey no problem buddy after all what are friends for(lawls) ^_^

Honestly, none of those strike me as particularly “stylish.” Of those four, I’d choose helvetica on the “simple” and “stylish” criteria. However, wouldn’t you want a font that says “vintage?”

Um, not so much. I guess I should define better what type of vintage items I will be selling. Honestly it will be 70’s/80’s (no total throwback vintage) stuff so I just wanted something that looked more or less cool, but not over the top. Maybe stylish isn’t quite the right word.
Helvetica would probably work just fine, I“m probably putting too much thought into it.

I liked the first one the most. Hands down.

Awesome, thanks for your input. I think it’s very compatible with some of the stuff I have.

I think it really suits what you’re trying to say. It totally screams retro-vibe-mixed-tape thing to me. I love it.

er… lurve it.

Consider using Cyclone, if you take a look at the second slide you’ll see what I mean. http://typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100003

@RH- Wow, that’s really cool. It’s a direction I didn’t think of going but I really like it.

Everything by H&FJ is pretty incredible :)

I’m quite partial to this for headings: http://www.dafont.com/neoprint-m319.font – considering it’s 70’s/80’s and vintage/2nd hand, I think it’d work well.
For the body text, I’m a big fan of Helvetica or any variation of it…..

if it is just for the header and that kind of thing, I would say choose a font that stylistically fits the name of your business.

I like the first font best for interest but am not sure how it fits with the the theme of what your selling, nor am I sure if that is important. It catches the eye and speaks to a used look.

I agree with Bri_L, if you’re going to go with one of your original suggestions. That would look pretty great in summery rainbow-style colours for what you’re planning to do.

Hmm… NeoPrint M319 murders itself on readability. I’m not sure about it.

Check out Peter Max’s and Larry Stella’s graphics from the sixties. There may be something stylistically apt there.

I say dont use a crazy font. Stick to something elegant and simple. I use Gotham for like anything. Helvetica is making a comeback. Skia is a good simple one as well. Crazy fonts are a thing of the past. Structure and form in type is making a comeback.

My advice.. if you want your company to be taken seriously, use a minimalist font. its just more of a pleasure to read and less of a headache.

I’m actually really digging the way this looks. What do you think?

Not a big fan of its extended characters (æ in particular – although don’t suppose you’ll be using that much), but other than that it looks very clean and simple.

how about one of these?

I think any of the first five would look good for a vintage store.

I’m a font fanatic, and for 70’s/80’s, I think richardhenry’s suggestion is perfect. If you were going with antiques, I’d go for one of the distressed typewriter fonts, but the one he suggested is clean, gorgeous and well-matched for what you’re selling.
