GLOMAR RESPONSE: a pragmatic answer to a question that can not be answered for legal reasons, though it is obvious to everyone there is an answer. For instance: “Is this the old typewriter font you published in the 1990’s”. The answer is “NCND”.

Very good for making props and on-camera hero objects that need some typewriter charm. Not good for forging historic documents that need to withstand scrutiny.

Typewriter animation! With variable weights for each key. Of course you can aim a camera at a real typewriter. However using NCND® the copy remains editable and translations can be dropped in. That includes Greek and Cyrillic and well as the extended Latin.

Slowly breathing Subtly alive, in this animation the variation axis is used to create a slow moving change in tone.

Immediate atmosphere LTR NCND® has been the go-to typewriter for all sorts of stories.

Overlaps in the NCND® Variable make the animations work. But if you need to cut these letters from film, remove the overlaps first.
