This is off topic, but I was just thinking about that typewriter font the other day. Does anyone know what it's called?
-
I think it's IBM script. http://www.identifont.com/samples2/bitstream/Script12Pitch.gif …

You could use it on the Selectrics I typed on in the early 80s ...
-
They had the type ball that you could change right?
-
Exactly! Oh Selectrics. The typewriter I failed typing tests on in every major publishing house in New York.
-
I remember that font fondly.
-
That font should be brought back, since they stopped teaching cursive on school.

Visit Cambridge Typewriter in Arlington, MA -- Tom has everything there! Got my used 1930s Corona from him ... my teenager daughter and her friends love to compose on it!

If you find a birthday card she once sent to Ho Chi Minh, please Don't Tweet about it. Some of us would like to remember her beautiful music, rather than some of her less than beautiful acquaintances.

They were also complicit in several murders of chapter members and involved in police shootouts, pre-school breakfast programs notwithstanding. They weren't the Salvation Army
