About the family


ITC American Typewriter™, designed in 1974 by Joel Kaden and Tony Stan for ITC, reimagined the familiar slab-serif style of typewriter fonts with a proportional, more readable design – dispensing with rigid monospaced spacing while preserving nostalgic warmth.

ITC American Typewriter was designed when people still used typewriters. It was intended to capture the feeling of typewriter type but have the benefits of a proportional-spaced typeface design. In the 21st century, typewriters are looked upon as an office artifact, but ITC American Typewriter still has a fresh, inviting – if slightly retro – personality.

Adoption data underscores this revival, with growth driven by high-profile use across Oscar-winning documentaries, Shopify premium DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands, and podcasts.

Whether anchoring a chilling documentary open, wrapping gourmet preserves, or styling a tech interface, ITC American Typewriter brings visibility and trust to every touchpoint.
