A richly curated vintage texture set inspired by real-world paper artifacts
Step into the world of timeless charm with the Ephemera Overlay Collection — a carefully crafted set of 37 high-resolution vintage textures, perfect for adding authentic retro character to your creative projects. This collection is rooted in real-world scans of aged materials such as tickets, invoices, handwritten letters, receipts, stamps, and packaging fragments, offering a truly raw and nostalgic feel.
