GO SEE | The onceGuilded1918 font is available for download on Creative Market.
Spanning from the Golden Age of Piracy in the 1700s to the 1800s formal years of stock certificates and hand lettered currency notes, onceGuilded 1918 is a victorian Font, a steampunk visage, a letterform that ebbs and flows through time. A stalwart of the Gilded Age and the Guilds that signified authoritative centers of creation + information sources, a key style for official documents, a look that was hand drawn or inked via letterpress.
The Gilded Age was a time that huge fortunes were made and lost (and kept to this day).
The height of the Gilded Age: 1870-1900. It continues after this but the public displays of opulence are ended by the realities of the WW1 era: 1914-1921.
And so, onceGuilded visuals are golden but faded, lasting but tarnished, forgotten but never truly lost as the appreciation of steampunk never goes away. After all, people will always have a hope of finding, creating, or innovating something.
onceGuilded1918 [makes us think of]
a return to well-made, thoughtful things.
For such a time as this.
JUST A NOTE | Creative Market is a world-class platform for design assets. At the moment it is the simplest means of providing an interactive demo for fonts, in addition to downloads. There are more options coming up for the sale of digital products, and I’m looking forward to being a part of the innovations taking place in peer-to-peer, decentralized trade.
