About the family


I found a clean sample of a Pica typeface that match one of my designs from a dirty old Hermes typewriter from France. I decided to make a font family from it. Might as well have a cleaner version, right? Sure there are a lot of Pica typewriter fonts out there. But this one is by Tension Type.

It only looks monospaced. But it’s not. It’s been designed with Class Kerning. Good for designs you want add an organic look to. Bold and medium weights so you don’t have to underline anything if you don’t want to.

About Tension Type

Hello, I’m Michael Tension, the designer for Tension Type. I mostly create display fonts. I love typography, as I’m sure all type designers do. At least I hope they all do. Any maybe you do as well since you’re on the MyFonts website. Or maybe letters frighten you and you’re only here to face that fear? Are you starting to wonder why you’re taking the time to read this? I’m just babbling. This has to be a minimum of 350 characters so I’m just filling up space. Thanks for reading this!
