Great list.  Thanks for taking the time to collect all of these!

If anyone's interested, we use Grenadier on Dieselpunks as our "go to" font.

Pacifico, a font that perfectly captures the golden age of travel. Perfect for 1950s/atompunk projects too!

I like 'Mostra Nuova' (or it's predecessor 'Mostra') - based upon Italian Art Deco advertising. I haven't used it as a typed-font myself, just copied the shapes for illustration pieces.

That is indeed a great list. I always used Betty Noir as my font for my blog and I've always loved it.

Its intersting how some say the fonts are free for personal use only. The way I have heard it is that fonts cannot be owned by anyone. You cannot sell them if they are not your own work. But they can be used in any commercial setting (minus being sold). Coke does not own their font, it is one that is freely avalible onine, legally.

Thanks for posting this fonts. I was looking for some different ones for a project I'm working on and this is perfect timing.

New font from the good folks over at LostType...I think they are closet dieselpunks, all of their stuff is 30s-60s inspired.
