IBM Composer The type styles of the IBM Selectric Composer, which worked with typewriter balls: Bembo (imitated by Aldine Roman) Baskerville Bodoni Century Expanded (called Century here) News Gothic (sort of imitated by Classified News) Copperplate Gothic Kis's Janson (imitated by Journal Roman) Times Roman (imitated by Press Roman). Includes Press Roman Symbol (Greek, Mathematical, Technical). Memphis (imitated by Pyramid) Optima (imitated by Theme) Univers Ruling Font Interestingly, but not surprisingly in view of today's corporate ethics, IBM "forgets" to mention that Theme is Optima, that Pyramid is Memphis, and so forth.
