Poem 18: The typist's user agreement

  1. That is a very interesting font, reminiscent of Bodoni with its high contrast between thick and thin strokes. The odd spacing just makes it more charming. What's the typewriter model and vintage?

    1. It's a ca. 1953 Olivetti Lexikon 80. You can also find this typeface on other Olivetti models.

    2. Thanks! It doesn't resemble the font used for the Lettera and Studio models, I don't think.

    3. Several different typefaces were available for every Olivetti model. I have a Lettera 22 with this typeface.

  2. A good companion to the manifesto
