Typewriter Fonts
Letters with the even spacing, slab feet and slightly worn edges of a mechanical typewriter. Good for letters, quotes, screenplays and anything that should feel typed rather than printed.

Show all fontsWhat these 11 typewriter fonts share, and where they differ
All 11 typewriter fonts here are built as monospace fonts, so every one of them is also listed under Monospace Fonts. None of the 11 is in the free download collection yet: anyone can preview and test each one, and downloading takes a Pro or Studio plan or a Font Pass pick. 1 comes in more than one weight (Mono Typewriter Slab), the other 10 in a single Regular style. Besides typewriter, the library most often files these fonts as slab (10), geometric (5), monospace (2) and retro (2). Some are drawn on one letter structure: Carbon Typewriter, Memo Italic Mono and Telegram Typewriter differ only in effect, slant or width, and 6 fonts here belong to such groups.
1 of the 10 fonts whose slant could be measured leans right, by a median of about 9°, while 9 stand upright. The steepest is Memo Italic Mono at about 9°; the other 1 has strokes too varied to give one angle. Across these typewriter fonts the narrowest is Carbon Typewriter and the widest Mono Typewriter Slab: their average lowercase letters measure 86% and 93.1% of the cap height. Their median width, 86%, is 6% wider than the 81.3% median of the whole library, so the same words take a longer line than in an average library font. Lowercase x-heights of these typewriter fonts sit between 69.4% and 77.8% of the cap height, with a median of 70.4%; the library median is 71.8%. Ink coverage, how dark a line of text looks, goes from 17.6% of each letter's box in Telegram Typewriter to 38.1% in Heavy Slab Mono; the median here, 25%, is 27% lighter than the library's 34.2%. Of the 11 whose stroke contrast could be read from the o, all 11 keep close to one stroke weight in every direction. The look comes from the letterforms alone: none of these fonts adds an outline, a shadow or a 3D side.
Every measured font here covers the Latin alphabet only; character sets run from 148 to 159. Accents are covered across the set: every font has accented and special Latin letters, 53 at the median, so names like Zoë or Björn set without gaps. None of them carries kerning pairs, so spacing comes from each letter's own side space; tight pairs such as AV or To may need manual spacing in large headlines. In the OpenType tables, none has OpenType ligatures or alternates; as for numbers, 10 have tabular figures that line up in columns of prices or scores.
Measured from the font files of 11 of the 11 fonts on this page: widths and heights are shares of the cap height. Library comparisons use the 348 library fonts measured on October 4, 2026.
Which typewriter font to start with
For the boldest impact
Heavy Slab Mono puts down the most ink of the set, 38.1% of each letter's box, so it holds up on posters seen from a distance and over busy photos.
For a lighter touch
Telegram Typewriter is the lightest here at 17.6% ink coverage, airy enough for quotes, invitations and longer lines.
For a sense of movement
Memo Italic Mono leans about 9°, the steepest slant on the page, which reads as fast, handwritten energy.
For numbers
Carbon Typewriter gives all ten figures one width, so prices, scores and dates line up in columns.
For short, wide headlines
Mono Typewriter Slab runs 8% wider than the page median (93.1% of the cap height per lowercase letter), which fills a banner with one or two words.
For small sizes
Telex Mono has an x-height of 75.6% of the cap height, among the tallest here, so its lowercase stays legible on stickers, labels and phone screens.

Questions about typewriter fonts
- Can I use these typewriter fonts commercially?
- Yes, with a Pro or Studio plan: downloads made on either come with a commercial license for logos, products, merchandise and client work, and it continues after the plan ends. None of the 11 is in the free collection, so a free account can preview and test them but not download them. A Font Pass downloads 5 library fonts of your choice for personal use.
- Which file formats do these typewriter fonts come in?
- All four formats, TTF, OTF, WOFF and WOFF2, come with each of the 11 on Pro and Studio, and the free collection downloads as TTF. 1 comes with more than one weight and the rest with one style, and their files hold 148 to 159 glyphs. TTF and OTF install on Windows and macOS; WOFF2 is the one to load on a website.
- Do these typewriter fonts support languages other than English?
- All of them are Latin fonts. Every measured one has accented Latin letters for languages such as French, Spanish and German. If a language is missing, Customize makes a copy of the font in your account, and Studio adds the letters it needs.
- Can I make my own typewriter font?
- Yes. Describe it in the generator, or upload a picture of lettering you like, and AI draws a complete installable font you can then edit letter by letter in Studio. The 11 fonts here make a useful brief: most of them stand upright and have a shorter x-height than the library median (the median x-height is 70.4% of the cap height), so a prompt such as "a typewriter font, upright, small x-height" starts close to this page.
