Typewriter fonts bring back the strike of mechanical keys, either crisp or with uneven ink. They suggest journalism, secret files and screenwriting. Distressed versions give character to titles, while clean versions such as those used for scripts remain comfortable to read at length.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are screenplays set in a typewriter font?

The convention uses a fixed-pitch font at twelve points so that a page takes roughly a minute of screen time, which helps productions estimate running length.

Are the fonts on this site free?

All fonts can be downloaded at no cost and without an account. What you may do with each font depends on its license, which is shown on the font's page.

Can I use these fonts commercially?

Only if the font's license allows it. Filter by Free for commercial use to see fonts whose licenses we have verified, and read the license details before using a font in paid work.
