Author's note

Old Press by Galdino Otten is a free old-school display font with tall, condensed letters and a heavily eroded print texture. Its uneven edges and patchy interiors recall worn wood-type posters.

Designers working on vintage music and heritage themes can use it for concert posters, record packaging, and barroom signage. On editorial covers and merchandise, the distressed letterforms can merge with halftone portraits, newspaper clippings, or rough illustrations as part of a unified printed image.

--

The movie Lawless uses the Old Press font in its print and digital media, including a movie poster in Italy.

- Commercial use is limited to the licensed region. For example, a license purchased for the United States is valid only in the United States.
- Use by large corporations and commercial brands requires a special permit based on the proportion of deemed income.
