@jenskutilek’s wonderful page on Reviving the IBM Selectric Composer Fonts strikes me as the perfect overlap of tech/type/math/research interests that also overlap on Mastodon: https://www.kutilek.de/selectric/

@typographica @jenskutilek oh man! Thanks for sharing. I love the Selectric fonts, particularly the cursive ones (e.g. https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/10922/script-ibm), but there are so few digital versions and relatively few monospace cursive fonts in general!

@typographica Going the other direction, @dave’s Austin Selectric Rescue makes a variety of typefaces available as custom Selectric balls including digital-firsts like JetBrains Mono
