Technical details: these TrueType fonts were created using YourFonts.com and tweaked with TypeTool. In some cases I used a carbon ribbon or inked the type directly to get the clearest possible impression; sometimes I used a traditional fabric ribbon. You can make a typewriter font too: download the YourFonts.com template, and either type on it directly or use an application such as Photoshop to insert scanned images of typing from your typewriter. Note that these are all proportional, not monospaced fonts, even though most of them would be monospaced when originally typed on a typewriter. I'm not a professional font designer; I can't guarantee that these fonts will work with all applications, and probably cannot help you if you encounter problems using them on your computer (although you are welcome to let me know that you're having trouble).
