In this post, we’ve selected excellent vintage and retro fonts that fits well our Retro – Vintage WordPress Theme. In our Retro theme we use “Bazar” as a main font. It is a great looking font but doesn’t have some glyphs, so it doesn’t work for some of our customer. Also you may wish to change the font to make your website stand out of the crowd. There are hundreds of free and premium typeface collections available online but it is hard to understand how it will look in design.
We’ve made a screenshots of some fonts that work best with our theme so you don’t have to spend time searching and trying, just check the images below!
Bazar
Font used in our Retro WordPress Theme as default.
Bebas Neue
We believe that Bebas Neue can be the best replacement of Bazar font for those who need some special glyphs, that Bazar is missing. This font is something like the “Helvetica of the free fonts”, it has everything you may need.

About “Retro” WordPress Theme
Retro Premium WordPress Theme is a combination of a strong vintage design and powerful admin panel. Retro offers full control over site color scheme as well as 5 predefined skins, the fancy Revolution Slider, custom portfolio & testimonials post types, various shortcodes, custom widgets and so much more. By far, this is a very rare and the only Vintage theme with such flexibility & amount of features.
Retro has gained a lot of popularity, and even was mentioned in Forbes magazine as 10 Best Paid WordPress Themes Of 2013:
“OK, we all know that flat design is “in” right now, but this theme proves that skeuomorphism can still work well on websites. It is fitting that this theme is called Retro so the case can be made for heavy usage of textures and patterns. The theme includes all the most important features such as unlimited colors, sliders, and integrated shortcodes.”

Another nice bonus is that Retro theme now comes with support of WooCommerce so you can run a store on this theme.
Hi there. I would like to change the theme default font (Bazar) to Lovelo (as described above). But how do I do that? It i snot listed in the dropdown in the theme options panel.
Hi Dennis,
This is examples of custom fonts, that are not available from our admn panel. From admin panel you can only choose google fonts. You can learn how to install a new font on our help forum: How to install a new font?
I have tried the default font BAZAR of retro WordPress theme but definitely there was some deficiencies because my site was not responding as it should be. So i started to use Anastasia as I am person who loves vintage look for her personal blog. Hope it won’t create further problem like Bazar.
