2 machines went into this one: the Smith Corona with its Special Elite Type Number NR6, and the Remington Noiseless. Brian J. Bonislawsky of Astigmatic copied their typewriter letters in 2010 and let some ink build up in them, so the edges look slightly clogged and uneven, analog in the good way.
1 Regular style. A detective novel cover or a fake dossier in a game is where it feels most at home.
