ITC American Typewriter

ITC American Typewriter is a slab serif typeface designed in 1974 by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan. Unlike other typewriter-inspired fonts, the design is proportional rather than monospaced, which makes it much more suitable for setting text. The typeface was used in Milton Glaser’s iconic I ❤ NY logo and tends to give off a retro 1970s vibe.
