Home › Early Tickertape
Early Tickertape is a decorative display face with dotted, perforated letters that mimic old ticker and teletype output. The forms are built from punched dots arranged in tidy grids, as though printed by a stuttering machine onto a thin paper tape, giving text a nostalgic, mechanical rhythm pulled from the early age of automated printing.
Use it for retro tech posters, financial graphics, vintage branding, and headlines with a nostalgic, mechanical feel. Early Tickertape is free to download as a TrueType file, and you can preview it with your own text to see how the dotted letters read in your design.
