Get Victorian with me
This is a typewriter typeface?? Yes! It's listed in a 1939 Varityper catalogue as “Diacritical”— but I think a better name for it is “Varityper Ornate.”
Want to type with it? You can. It’s a new free download from the fonts section of The Classic Typewriter Page.

In 1939! Hammond really lived on :-)
ReplyDeleteAn awkward typeface for typing with ribbon-inking, hard to get all the detail (esp. a and e) - but the 1939 Varityper with carbon ribbon will have done it justice.
Links don't work? site.xavier,edu seems to be down.
