Bull-5

Bull-5, designed by David Einwaller, derives from a particular style of typewriter fonts that emerged in the 1960s, presumably introduced through Olivetti—an Italian manufacturer of office products. The project began by digitizing printed type samples spotted on labels of photographic prints from the 1980s, which were sold due to the closure of an American newspaper archive. To preserve its raw and mechanical character, Bull-5’s Mono styles are drawn in coherence with the source material, including all their quirks and irregular proportions. They are accompanied by Proportional styles for greater legibility and Typewriter styles to embrace another iconic characteristic of typewriter fonts. [tightype.com]

Initially released in 2022 in one weight, expanded in August 2024 to six weights across the three styles: proportional, monospaced, and typewriter.
