About Yesteryear

Yesteryear is a handwriting typeface created by Astigmatic. Handwriting fonts bring a personal, handwritten quality to typography and can work well for invitations, greeting cards, decorative headings, branding materials, and other designs that call for an expressive lettering style. The right fit depends on your wording and layout, so testing a sample can help you assess its appearance.

The Yesteryear font comes in one Regular style at weight 400. It supports Latin and Latin Extended scripts, making it suitable for text using characters from these writing systems. The supplied font files contain 370 glyphs, providing a range of characters for supported text.

The release is available in TTF and WOFF2 formats for compatible desktop applications and web projects. It is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits commercial use subject to the license terms.

Use Yesteryear on your website

Copy the CSS below. Option B needs the font files uploaded to a fonts/ folder on your own server first.

Option A: use the font directly from Fonts1 (no upload needed)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Yesteryear';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3077/fb7ecf6bf4-yesteryear-regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Quickest way to try it. For a busy production site, Option B (your own server) is more reliable.

Option B: self-host (download, then upload to your server)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Yesteryear';
  src: url('fonts/Yesteryear-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

2. Apply it

body {
  font-family: 'Yesteryear', sans-serif;
}

  1. Download the font family (ZIP) and extract it.

Fonts that pair well with Yesteryear

Good design mixes two or three fonts. These are picked from a different style (a clean sans next to a script, a serif next to a sans) so they stay easy to tell apart and cover the same language.
