The Remington Portable (colors and typefaces)



I recently bought this little pamphlet on ebay. Along with some nice graphics, it also shows the colors and typefaces available at the time (which I presume is 1929) and mentions how special keyboards could be procured at no extra cost.

  1. Nifty! I like that sans-serif "something different" typeface.

    1. I think that's the same Art Gothic found on the Remie Scout.

  2. Very nice piece of literature to have. Great typeface examples. I did not know they had so many on that model.

  3. Wow. I've never been that interested in these little Remingtons but now I'm going to have to take a closer look; I would love some of those typefaces.

  4. Like how they say it "carries its desk on its back, permitting its use anywhere. . .on the lap."

    Writers, get unshackled from you desk!
