I've got quite a few fairly harmless addictions. Collecting old manual typewriters, for example, will not land me a stint in some lock-down rehab. I don't think. I guess dropping a Hermes on my foot might buy a little time in the ER, although I'm sure I'd be more worried about the typewriter than the foot. At any rate, it's a harmless addiction as long as I don't need government bailout money to keep me in fresh ribbon.

One of my other addictions is collecting computer fonts. It's true. I have thousands and can justify every last one because I'm the faculty adviser for an undergrad literary magazine. The magazine requires layout and layout requires nifty fonts now and then. I might as well share a few fabulous free font sites, because at this point it's starting to feel like hoarding. You know, like those people who turn their houses into a maze of newspaper stacks and olive jars.

If you opened up my hard drive, I'm afraid that's what it would look like. Urban Fonts has a nice collection of the usual typewriter font suspects, as well as some of the more down-and-dirty broken fonts.

There's a nice one called My Old Remington that's a good blend of the clean and dirty - much like typing with a fresh ribbon on a machine that hasn't been cleaned in, say, sixty years. Font Parade is a great site for some of the standards Urban Fonts carries, with a few more. Those of you who have special love for that blocky, sci-fi look some Hermes s have can download Typewriter a6o2. Not my thing, really, but it might be yours. One of my favorite font sites right now is Misprinted Type.

Some of these are typewriter fonts and some are just plain art, but you simply must stop by and take a look at the free offerings as well as the buy-only fonts. That's right, Horse Puke. Just because you may or may not have a functioning manual typewriter is no reason not to have typewriter font-love. God knows you miss out on the overall aesthetic clank and zing delight of the old beauties, but you can be forgiven.

In some cases I used a carbon ribbon or inked the type directly to get the clearest possible impression; sometimes I used a traditional fabric ribbon. You can make a typewriter font too: download the YourFonts. Note that these are all proportional, not monospaced fonts, even though most of them would be monospaced when originally typed on a typewriter.
