Puritan Alternate Bold Font

Puritan Alternate Bold by Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free retro display serif with a warm, early-20th-century feel. The letters look broad and inky, with rounded serifs, soft joins, and a slightly lopsided rhythm that keeps the weight from feeling stiff or formal.

It fits poster headlines, book jackets, cafe branding, vintage packaging, and magazine cover lines where you want a period mood without going ornate. As a free font, it also works well for short title cards or oversized initials, because the heavy curves and jaunty details keep even a few letters feeling full and characterful.
