There are many vintage fonts out there, but not many have been expertly crafted by a talented lettering artist who lives and breathes the vintage aesthetic. The Vintage Font Bundle from Heritage Type Co. contains 6 typefaces designed by Tobias Saul, whose inspirational vintage logos and type designs have been featured many times in showcases on Spoon Graphics. These beautiful fonts authentically capture the style of late 19th to early 20th century lettering and are packed full of features, such as alternate characters, ornamental graphics, and even ready-made logo templates. The bundle is currently on offer with 70% off, but I’ve teamed up with Heritage Type Co. to offer Spoon Graphics readers an extra 10% discount code, making the final price $44 ($149). Use the code SPOONER during checkout to secure the best price around!

2024 is coming to an end, so let’s take a look back at my tutorial videos from the past year and see which topics proved to be the most popular. Once again my Neon Light Effect Photoshop Tutorial from back in 2021 continues to dominate my YouTube Analytics as my best performing video, now with 2.8 million total views. Sadly, none of my uploads this year have managed to pull out any extraordinary numbers, my best performing videos are just about on par with 9th and 10th place from my 2023 roundup! I thought my recent Vaporwave Neon Effect Photoshop Tutorial might have followed in the footsteps of that popular Neon Light Effect tutorial with it being the same process with a different result, but the stats aren’t quite living up to expectations yet with 3000 views so far. Hopefully this will be one to watch if the algorithm decides to shine some light on it in 2025.
