The Classic Typewriter Page

Tangentially, for a new manuscript I just started, I opted for a monospace courier sans font instead of the usual Times New Roman I always go with. I am liking it quite a bit for my rough draft: https://quoteunquoteapps.com/courierprime/ Very much in the spirit of fonts from type writers. I'm using Courier Prime Sans.

I enjoyed "The Chinese Typewriter: A History" by Thomas S. Mullaney [1]. An interesting look into the history and technology used to create typewriters that can produce almost all the Chinese (and later, Japanese) characters in various ways.

Richard Polt is also the author of the typewriter revolution. A good book!
