How to Choose the Best Typewriter Fonts
Picking a typewriter font is all about what you’re making. Here are the key things to keep in mind:
1. Pick clean or inky: Clean typewriter fonts like Underwood Champion and Enigma Typewriter Sans are easy to read on labels. Inky ones like Remington Weather look more vintage but are best printed.
2. Think about cutting: Heavy ink texture is hard to cut and weed. For vinyl and iron-on, choose a clean or hand-drawn typewriter font, like Tippy Tappy Type or Hotcake Typewriter.
3. Pair it with a script: Typewriter fonts shine in smaller text. Pair one with a script or bold display font for titles on journal pages, cards and signs.
