About
A monospace by Reiko Hirai, Emanuela Conidi and Jonny Pinhorn that returns to Howard Kettler's 1950s IBM typewriter face and pushes it well beyond the original. Nine weights run from Hairline to Black with matching italics, supported by a 2-axis variable font with Weight and Italic. Multi-script coverage across Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin makes it a useful pick for editorial systems, code samples and identity work that wants the classic Courier voice with contemporary control.
