It’s about time that I’d take you to the world of fonts. For a long time, I’ve been intrigued by fonts, collecting them on my computer (and yes, I’m aware that people say they slow things down). Still, I can’t help myself – I do love fonts, and it’s great how you can put them to use in digital scrapbooking. So, today I want to talk about typewriter fonts. Tons of different typewriter fonts are out there – a lot of them for free. You can use clean types, but I especially love the ones that look old, worn, ragged.

In general, typewriter fonts will give your page a kind of vintage look. They also work great when you combine them with handwriting fonts. On top of that they make great word strips, even work as titles.

Here’s just a quick glance at some of my pages I did recently where I used typewriter fonts (simply click on the image to enlarge):

Now that you’ve seen all this inspiration, of course you want to know, which typewriter fonts I’m using. Here’s a short list of some of my favorite typewriter fonts:

• Traveling Typewriter
• Remington
• F25 Executive
• 1942 Report
• Last Words
• Adler
• Armenschrift
• Typewriter

All of these are available for free on the web. And there are countless other fonts, too. Just recently, I was pointed to this website where they offer dozens of typewriter fonts for free. It offers a great variety of lots of different typewriter fonts, and some of my favorite fonts are available for download there.
