Linowrite Font

Linowrite from E+F Designstudios is a free eroded typewriter-style display font with sturdy slab serifs and uneven ink wear. Its broad letters retain the familiar mechanical shapes of office typing, with rounded joins and a dense scatter of pinholes across the strokes. The texture is dense but finely grained.

It is especially suited to poster titles built around archives, correspondence, or industrial ephemera, and the same battered print quality can support record sleeves and book covers. Publishers and music labels seeking a photocopied, hands-on aesthetic will find its worn letterforms useful for work rooted in documentary or underground culture.

Linowrite is based on American Typewriter. Its basic form is a linocut that was subsequently straightened.
