Addressotype
displayTypewriter display
A display typeface modelled on the imperfect, mechanical lettering produced by early addressing machines and typewriters.
About
Addressotype captures the utilitarian character of machine-printed address labels and envelopes, with letterforms that carry the slight irregularity and weight of ink pressed through a mechanical device. The design suits applications that call for an industrial or archival feeling without resorting to pastiche. Its single weight keeps the focus on texture and authenticity rather than typographic range.
Classification
