Remington Typewriter
A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1927. Mac McGrew about Goudy Remington Italic Typewriter: This is one of the more unusual typefaces designed by Frederic W. Goudy, which he undertook at the request of the president of the Remington company, about 1929. As standard typewriters allot the same horizontal space for each character, letters which are normally wide or narrow must be squeezed or stretched to minimize the appearance of uneven spacing. Goudy did this by giving the letters a slight italic effect, which allowed him to lengthen the serifs of narrow letters and shorten those of wide characters. In his thorough way, Goudy made patterns, cut matrices, and cast enough type to set a trial paragraph. Monotype later copied the design as produced by Remington.
