Working on a package design that needs some old type to it but I'm not to
familiar with any type that looks "vintage"...any suggestions?
Fonts on Packaging. Have a look at Tazo and Fantastic World Foods. Not suggesting you copy them, but there are some alternative faces listed.
There is always the ubiquitous Louise Fili and her packaging which does use typefaces that evoke a vintage quality.
Many Nick Curtis period display faces, including 1950s, for free download at

God bless Nick Curtis!
