Type Samples
Ongoing
This archival project, exploring the history of type design for manual and electric typewriters, involves assembling a collection of typewriter-related artifacts with type specimens. The collection includes dozens of typewriter catalogs, pamphlets, advertisements, and other items showing typefaces once offered by typewriter manufacturers. The growing collection includes hundreds of type samples.
