Wow! I'm limiting my collection to unique typefaces these days.
ReplyDeleteAmazing old gal, Thanks for the TTF :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome, amazing and astonishing! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard! Great finding!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I like the typeface! First one of these I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this machine! I know some think it might be a bit homely, but the HH has a certain handsomeness to me (the eye of the beholder)! Let me know when it's up for auction - I'd love to bid on it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll be selling it locally in Cincinnati, though.
DeleteA typeface to type for!!
ReplyDeleteReminds me why I bought a Mac in the late 80s. Font choices that overcome objections!
ReplyDeleteSherry cans a lot in late summer and early fall. My Executive HH make great canning labels. Vintage typestyle looks great on those jars!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered a Montgomery Ward (Brother) Signature 510 with Executive typeface! how cool is that? :)
ReplyDeleteRemarkable!
DeleteI recently saw a Montgomery Ward Signature machine with it too. I just bought a 1966 Royal Safari with Executive. It's a fun typeface, and it's also silly. I type business correspondence with typewriters, and I won't be sending letters to clients with Executive typeface!
