About Distressed Telegraph Font

Our Distressed Telegraph brings the unique individuality of the Large Elite Type No. 44 vintage typewriter keyset to the digital age. Vintage typewriters evoke a warmth and comfort to them, primarily because of their unpredictable “grunge” results from force of keystrokes to ribbon and paper. The SmallCaps and extensive figure sets add a more serious note to the nature of the typeface.

See the 9th graphic for a comprehensive character map preview.

Opentype features include:

SmallCaps.
Full set of Inferiors and Superiors for limitless fractions.
Tabular, Proportional, and Oldstyle figure sets (along with SmallCaps versions of the figures).
Stylistic Alternates for Caps to SmallCaps conversion.
