About

A clean monospace typeface based on Reproducing Typewriter which was available as early as 1906. Reproducing Typewriter was designed for simulating typewritten letters in smaller point sizes for advertisements, catalogs, etc., where readability and/or distortion resulting from duplication were issues with faces based on actual typewriters at the time.

"Sight Saver" typewriter faces designed for readability were also available, though they were at larger sizes than ordinary pica or elite typefaces.

I developed Old Timey Mono because I thought those characteristics would make it a good basis for a coding font with an antique aesthetic. You may have seen Reproducing Typewriter used in the Turbo Pascal 3.0 product manual.

At a size of 12pt (6 lines per inch), Old Timey Mono is a pica font, or 10 characters per inch, like Courier. It should be suitable for screenplay writing.

Code Variant

Along with Old Timey Mono, there is Old Timey Code. It has a slashed zero, disambiguated digit one, selected punctuation marks made larger, and a few certain small letters modified.
