: Where to find free, high-quality, letterpress/woodblock type fonts? I may be asking for too much but...I'm trying to find fonts that look in the style of letterpress and/or woodblock type printing.

@Lengel450

I have a wide range of woodblock fonts available on my Creativemarket shop at: creativemarket.com/Kitch22

I designed (er...well, I didn't design them...but traced) some wood type for Chank many years ago:

Tho...0 for the set might not be close enough to free.

This company sells scans of wood print scans:

A nice set at Veer:
marketplace.veer.com/font/weathered-woodtype-pack-det0000303
You can often find Creative Commons licensed stuff for on Flickr:

A few wood-type-esque fontsquirrel options:
www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/list/keyword/wood%20type
Wood Type Revival has some VERY affordable options (around each):
www.woodtyperevival.com/t/fonts
Not full type sets, but Briar Press has a nice online set of one-off initial caps and decorations for download:

The Lost Type Foundry is a newer foundry that's adopted a pay-what-you-like model which is really nice. Not wood-type per se, but some that are evocative of the era:

But your best option (or, at least, the option that's most fun) would be to find a local shared book arts/printing studio/organization and print your own! Looks like Portland has this one:
