Vintage typography app Fontly comes to Android
Fontly is an iPhone and Android and web app for capturing, mapping, and exploring the world of vintage typography around us.
It's safe to say that at Creative Bloq, we love a bit of typography. So, it comes as no surprise that we're super excited about the Android release of Fontly - an app celebrating the art of vintage typography.
Founded by designer Brendan Ciecko, Fontly works as a sort of community of typography lovers. The app's users send in their snaps of signs, neon, architectural, foil lettering and hand-painted vintage typography loveliness.
An avid traveller and lover of all things creative, Brendan belives that the Fontly app will enable us to preserve our visual history.
You can explore the extended, full-screen experience with the community’s curated typography on Fontly’s interactive map.
Fontly is available to download for free now.
