Every graphic designer knows that font choice is critical for your project. Not only for legible typography but also for balance, context, and aesthetic value. This is especially true when creating something with a specific design style, such as Art Deco. Your project wouldn’t be complete without finishing it off with one of the best Art Deco fonts.
While Art Deco came about in the early 20th Century, the Art Deco mood and design style has stood the test of time. Clean lines, streamlined stepped forms, patterns, zig-zags, geometric shapes, metallics, and kitschy colors define the look. Art Deco design and typography are luxurious and visually striking.

Final Thoughts on Art Deco Fonts
And there you have it — our roundup of more than 30 of the best Art Deco fonts and families for your next roaring twenties-inspired graphic design project. Remember to choose a contrasting font to pair with your Art Deco font. For example, since most of these are so decorative, a simple serif font for body copy will probably be a good fit. Another stylized font, like a script, will likely clash and be a distraction in the same design.
Besides typography, you’ll nail the Art Deco look by adding sun rays, geometric shapes and backgrounds, stylized florals, and a metallic or kitschy color scheme.
