None of these has a one key, so of course I messed up the alignment of shifted numbers. And I made NUMEROUS typos in the text as well.

interesting typefaces 1
These are the ones with stylistic similarities. Because of inconsistent inking, I used a carbon paper sheet over a much brighter sheet of paper. The first image is the carbon, second is the top sheet.

Thanks for this comparison! Indeed, the Adler's typeface is exactly like the one on my new Optima :-), and it looks similar to the FP and to Olympia Congress (another typeface I've always envied). These print styles are pretty awesome, I love how different they look from regular pica - so crisp and clean.
ReplyDeleteP.S. According to Ted Munk's indispensable scans of the NOMDA Blue Book, Adler called this typeface Imperial - I think yours is the Elite Imperial: http://munk.org/typecast/2011/04/23/1964-nomda-blue-book-adler-typewriter-font-styles/
ReplyDeleteNice comparison. Just do not get the nice character of typeface print on computers. Unless you use some of the typeface fonts available.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Haven't compared my typefaces in a while.
ReplyDeletethanks for reminding me of Ted's scans. I think the FP is called Book.
ReplyDeleteI just love the "ea" character on the Adler.
ReplyDeleteme too - that one, the accents and degree are unique in my collection.
