This is a typewriter typeface?? Yes! It’s listed in a 1939 Varityper catalogue as “Diacritical”— but I think a better name for it is “Varityper Ornate.”
Want to type with it? You can. It’s a new free download from the fonts section of The Classic Typewriter Page.
Psst: Here’s the whole catalogue.
that is an amazingly beautiful typeface. downloaded.
