8 Point Lining Typewriter No.1 specimen from A2-Type

A single-style digital revival of an 8 Point Lining Typewriter alphabet from a Barnhart Brothers & Spindler specimen of c. 1908, with distinctly characterful details throughout.

About

Drawn from a typewriter alphabet in the Barnhart Brothers & Spindler type specimen published around 1908, the design preserves idiosyncratic details that set it apart from generic typewriter revivals. Standout features include a flamboyant leg on the capital R, a pronounced curve on the lowercase t, an exaggerated overhanging f, and flourished numerals. A2-Type note it reads particularly well at small point sizes, making it suited to editorial contexts where period texture is needed without sacrificing legibility.

Classification

A digital revival of a typewriter-style alphabet from a 1908 type specimen, with fixed-width letterforms and characteristic typewriter aesthetics including exaggerated details on key characters.
