It is designed primarily as a headline font, and thus is best used in All-Caps in larger sizes.

It was inspired by several character shapes found in an all caps headline from a 1915 magazine advertisement.

It includes a caps and small caps alphabet. ITC Vintage is a classic and dignified headline design that suggests elegance and simplicity.

Both versions are available as webfonts but for better performance, I would recommend using the regular option for the web.
