Based on Reproducing Typewriter, a letterpress typeface from c. 1906 used to create fake typewritten letters for promotional material. Where other monospace typefaces replicated actual typewriters, Reproducing Typewriter had improvements for better readability at smaller point sizes and/or where poor quality reproduction was an issue.

I thought its features would make it the basis of a good coding font, too. Old Timey Mono is much closer to the original while Old Timey Code makes it an even better typeface for writing source code.

It was the coding font used in the Turbo Pascal 3.0 user manual. I've not seen it elsewhere except old patents' cover pages.

Enjoy and if you have any comments or questions, comment or enquire away.

I'm currently using an old copy of Letter Gothic 12 Pitch from an ancient Ventura Publisher CD, and like that style a lot, so definitely going to try this.

This is pretty nice: thanks for including polytonic Greek and macrons over Latin vowels including over y. I especially love how the breathing marks and accents look together over initial vowels in Greek, and I love zeta (ζ) and xi (ξ) in this font.

Might I make a few specific suggestions:

- allow combining breve over Latin y as well: sometimes that's handy for indicating contrast

- check the height of stacking diacritical marks: a perispomenos tonos or circumflex accent over a breathing mark over a vowel (like in εἶναι eĩnai) ends up stacking up tall enough to intersect with descenders (like on ζ zeta) from the line above

- the circumflex over alpha (ᾶ) looks really good, because it follows the curve of the alpha itself, but circumflex over eta (ῆ) looks off-center, because it left-aligns to the ear on the left of eta. The same could be said for the iota subscript (ᾳῃῳ): it looks great under alpha and omega, but it's a bit awkward under eta because of how far to the left it is.

- have you considered adding a variation for the Porsonic or single-curve circumflex?
