DelitschAntiqua

Delitsch Antiqua font by Hermann Delitsch is a free vintage serif typeface with a dark, storybook mood. Its letters feel hand-cut and slightly gothic, with ink-heavy strokes and subtle curves that twist like old woodcarvings. The rhythm is compact but still readable, giving headlines a sense of history without slipping into full blackletter drama.

Using Delitsch Antiqua, you can bring a moody, old-world character to book covers, fantasy posters, wine labels, tarot decks, cafés or bar logos, and period-themed packaging. This free font shines at larger sizes where its textured contours and dramatic weight can really breathe. Pair it with a clean geometric sans for body text and small captions to keep layouts grounded and legible.
