Designer's Notes

This font is based off of a typewriter that I bought in the 1980s. I modified it a little and added some wear to make it seem a little older and typewriter-ish.

UPDATE 2022: I forgot I made this, and I logged into my old email associated with this account to see many inquiries from years past as to whether people can use this font in commercial settings. I am so, so sorry I never got back to you all - I was a teenager when I made this font, and dropped it on throwaway accounts. I didn't actually buy a typewriter in the 80s. I wasn't alive then!

Anyway, to clear up for future reference: this font is 100% free to use! Personally and commercially. No license, no bs, just font. Or something.

I hope you all are doing well.
