retro design
Nostalgic visual style
Retro design draws on the aesthetic styles of earlier decades—typically the mid-twentieth century—to evoke nostalgia or vintage charm.
The term covers everything from furniture to typography to user interfaces: The app's retro design features neon colors and pixel art.
Unlike authentic vintage pieces, retro design is contemporary work deliberately referencing the past.
