Organic serif with an italic
Thrifted Attire

Narrow typewriter face
Underwood Typewriter
Underwood Typewriter is a narrow typewriter face in black on a page of typeset Latin: the face appears as one line set inside a justified block of grey body text, so it is judged against running copy rather than alone, and the letters are thin with uneven contours and slab feet.
