I hadn’t made a typewriter font for a while, so with an hour to spare last night, I did.
I don’t think I’ve seen this typeface on another typewriter. Isn’t that ampersand a beauty?
Download the font here.
Also available: VisOmatic, with more regular alignment.
You can make your own font, for free, at paintfont.com.
Here’s a closeup of the type.
Well, I for sure will be downloading this one!
You certainly should! Thanks again for helping me get the machine.
Very nice! Thank you – :D
Do you note any special slug markings on this set?
I'll check when I'm home!
Fantastic! Much appreciated.
Very elegant typeface and I love the VisOmatic decal on the front.
It's actually not a decal, but some solid gold-colored material embedded in clear plastic. Looks great.
That typewriter looks like it's lots of fun – and such a nice font too.
Very beautiful font. Thanks for sharing.
Nice—that's Bruxelles or Empire. I have a Torpedo with it (and I've seen it on an Everest also) and it's probably my favorite typewriter typeface.
I've added a photo of the type. AR 88.
Yes, it certainly looks like Bruxelles, I have seen it on several different typewriters, very nice indeed. However, I am totally green with envy when I look at the Visomatic, if you find another one let me know. That goes also for a Woodstock electric.
Yep, RaRo catalog confirms AR88 is Bruxelles. (:
Thanks, Ted!
