American Typewriter is a typeface designed by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan for the International Typeface Corporation back in 1974. The concept refers to the old typographer’s fonts from around the turn of the century. American Typewriter is proportionally spaced; every character holds only the required space. It has a nostalgic look and inherits all the properties of vintage typewriters, albeit with a modern, legible face; this type can be used for both digital and print media.
In the American Typewriter font, one of the characteristics used is charm. It is all-purpose that this font is used with great suitably, branded in advertising and editorial design for the right measure of classic, combined with a dash of retro. The relatively solid serifs and the even stroke of the font, with the relatively round angles, lend stability and strength to it while at the same time softening the whole aesthetics without the type becoming cold. So, it is a mix of qualities that makes the American Typewriter very much wanted for messages that should spread authority but be friendly.

Not only does the American Typewriter look good, but it is also highly functional. Being a font family, it ideally allows much by way of variation across different design requirements, offering from light to bold and italic features across several weights. Similarly, the typeface was optimized for small sizes, hence having a clean and readable character that is effective when used in business cards. Equally, the font performs well when used for headlines on websites. The American Typewriter font perfectly balances form and function, coming very close to perfection in the invaluable combination one can have in one toolbar.
I hope you love using this font as much as I do! If you need help installing fonts, check out these guides: Microsoft’s article for Windows users and Apple’s article for Mac users.
