Filthy Steampunk Fonts

Misprinted Type's Nasty font

Today, I was reading the blog of a friend of a friend (Tikirobot) and going back a while I rediscovered some fonts that I remembered seeing a while ago, but lost the link to. Lovely free, slightly grungy/worn fonts from the Misprinted Fonts page – in particular I like the above ‘Nasty’ font (which looks like a broken fairground or Victorian showman’s font) and also ‘Porcelain’ and ‘Selfish’ fonts which are so flouncy as to be almost unreadable – quite handy. I’m sure these would go very nicely on an invitation to dinner, or to a presentation of scientific wonders from around the civilised world – or something far seedier, if the showman’s font was used!
