Comparing 3 large typefaces


Sent from my Erika 5 (pica), Smith-Corona Classic 12 (Speech-Riter),
Erika M (Medium Roman), and mystery machine (Bulletin).

  1. I like the Erika M's typeface an awful lot.

    1. Me too. Due to needing 1.5 spacing and having fairly thin strokes, the page has a very airy and light appearance.

  2. For me the third one is the best looking. Followed by the Erika M's. I don't mind a bit of boldness!

    1. I couldn't decide between the 2nd and 3rd; they're different and interesting in their own ways. The last one is probably the best extra-bold typeface made for a typewriter.

  3. I'm guessing that Bulletin is a Royal font.

    1. A clue—it's a face found on a number of European typewriters.

  4. Impressive collection! I also like the Erika typeface followed by the third sample.
