This font used on the gateposts of the former Haghill Public School in the East End of Glasgow is just superb. Designed by A. Lindsay Miller and built in 1904, the school was demolished in 2022, but it's hoped some of the original features will be incorporated in the affordable housing planned for the site.

When we lose old building, we lose not just the walls and the roof, but also all the other little design details which makes each building unique, like these sculpted signs, and once they're gone, they are lost forever as they're often left undocumented.

There are surprisingly few fonts based on, or used by, actual typewriters. In the interests of finding out the right answers by posting wrong ones:

Prestige Elite, Typewriter Elite (balls and fillets), Courier (no balls, slab serifs), LTC Remington Typewriter (wavy seven).

A2 Typewriter, 1403 Vintage Mono, and Orator feature in the next post.

#TypewriterFont #font#Typewriter#Monospace

A sample of LTC Remington Typewriter. It is similar to Typewriter Elite, with balls and fillets; there is a little more "spring" in the /h /m /n /r (the arch has a lower junction on the left, and the top of the arch is further to the right). The /two has a wavy bottm, the /three has a flat top, the /four is close, the seven has a top-left hook (or beak) and has a wavy top and an ogee diagonal.

A sample of Courier. Very monostroke, no ball terminals, no fillets. Serifs and entry-and-exit strokes are largely rectilinear slabs. The /Q has a distinctive wavy tail. The /g is single story (schoolbook). The /two is flat-bottomed, the /three is rounded top and bottom, the /four is closed, the /seven has a hook at top-left and a straight diaonal.

A sample of Typewriter Elite. Like many of these fonts, it is largely monostroke. This sample has significant ball terminals /a /c /f /j /r and many fillets /E /F /T /t.

sample of Prestige Elite. Quite a clean monostroke design with curved entry and exit strokes on many letters (the /b /d /h /k /l /m /m /p). Compare to other sample, there are no ball terminals, and no fillets except perhaps small ones in the beak of /C /S /T. The /two is straight bottomed, the /three is round at top and bottom, the /four is open, and the /seven is straight with no hook.
