CEO
Optimo · François Rappo
François Rappo's monospace built on a near-rectangular module, drawn from the 1960s Olympia typewriter's Senatorial #71.
About
A monospaced typeface by François Rappo that captures the modernist fancy of the late mechanical typewriter era. Based on a nearly rectangular module, CEO retains the authoritative, systematic feel of its source while smoothing the curves into something more organic, with rounded stems and terminals and a careful eye on punctuation and special characters. Four weights from Light to Black with matching italics give editorial systems a typewriter voice that works in long blocks as well as quoted passages.
