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?
It's a ca. 1953 Olivetti Lexikon 80. You can also find this typeface on other Olivetti models.
Thanks! It doesn't resemble the font used for the Lettera and Studio models, I don't think.
Several different typefaces were available for every Olivetti model. I have a Lettera 22 with this typeface.
A good companion to the manifesto
A manifesto in poetry.
