Royal Portasear

Royal Portasear captures the distressed, timeworn character of a well-used Sears portable typewriter, preserving the tooth, ink spread, and ribbon-worn irregularity of the original machine. Rather than cleaning away its flaws, the design embraces them, translating the grit and unpredictability of an aging typewriter into an expressive digital typeface. Optimized for smaller settings, Royal Portasear is especially well suited for editorial work, vintage documents, book interiors, dossier-style layouts, labels, posters, storytelling graphics, and typewritten ephemera. Alternate capitals, lowercase letters, and numerals add subtle variation, while contextual alternates can automatically cycle these forms during typing for a more natural and convincingly mechanical result.

OpenType features include:

• Standard typesetting character set.
• Stylistic Alternates variant Capitals, Lowercase, and Numerals sets.
• Contextual Alternates feature which auto enables switching between the two sets as you type)
