American Typewriter

American Typewriter is a slab serif typeface created in 1974 by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan for International Typeface Corporation. It is based on the slab serif style of typewriters; however, unlike most true typewriter typefaces, it is a proportional design: the characters do not all have the same width. American Typewriter is often used to suggest an old-fashioned or industrial image. It was originally released in cold type (photocomposition) before being released digitally. Like many ITC typefaces, it has a range of four weights from light to bold (with matching italics) and separate condensed styles. Some releases do not have italics. American Typewriter was by no means the first typeface to imitate typewriting.

Monospaced faces suit code listings, typewriter effects and technical material; their even spacing is less comfortable for continuous reading.
