News Copy

From $55  |  2 Font Family by Jeff Levine Fonts

Found within the pages of the 1934 edition of the American Type Foundry's 'Book of American Type” is a sans serif design with rounded terminals that emulates a typewriter face.

'Jumbo Typewriter” is reminiscent of the type of lettering formerly found on teletype news copy.

'Teletype” was a division of Western Electric (part of AT&T), and the machines utilized telephone lines to electronically type and send (as well as receive) messages worldwide.

Many folks will remember the sound of teletype machines in the background when radio stations had their news breaks.

Now available digitally as News Copy JNL, it is available in both regular and oblique versions.
