Old Typewriter

This font is based on the typewriter my father still uses to type letters on.  It's a huge HEAVY black monster that doesn't even have the number 1 because they figure you can just use an l.

I though it had an interesting style, so I had my dad type in every character and worked off of that.  Some of the characters in the font are characters that weren't on the keyboard, so I just made them up.  The characters I created are:  !  1  =  +  ~  \  (c)      
The rest of the characters were on the typewriter.

I have 3 versions of this font:
    - Messy.  This version is the most complex.  Low memory apps *may* have trouble with it.  It probably won't look much different than Simplified unless it's printed at 24pt or larger text.  Especially if your final out put is screen resolution you probably don't need to use this version often
    - Simplified.  This is just a scaled down version of Messy.  It is quicker and looks fine for anything on screen, or small printouts.  It is also useful if you want your final output to look "cleaner" around the edges, and have less gaps in the letters
    - Skimpy.  This works well when interspersed with the others, or when it's supposed to look like the ribbon is almost out on the typewriter.  I personally think this version is the most fun, although it's not as legible as the others.
