TELETYPE 1945-1985 by E. V. Norat II is a free eroded slab serif display font. Its heavy letters have broad square serifs, uneven edges, and scattered gaps that resemble worn ink on coarse paper.

It can give a design the look of a weathered public notice or old industrial label. That role fits historical posters, music merchandise, packaging, and editorial graphics built around archival or mechanical themes. It is most convincing in poster titles where the battered print texture becomes part of the subject itself.

TELETYPE 1945-1985 is a serif, monospaced font based on typewriter typefaces. It resembles, but is not identical to, the typeboxes used in electro-mechanical Teletype (TTY/TWX) machines by the Civil Aviation Agency (CAA) after World War II. The CAA was later reorganized as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

These Teletype machines were used by air traffic controllers at more than 360 Flight Service Station facilities, U.S. Weather Bureau stations, international weather stations, military facilities, and other facilities worldwide, primarily for weather reporting and dissemination and occasionally for communication.

Unlike standard Teletype typeboxes and their numerous variations, CAA/FAA typeboxes included eight wind-direction arrows and four cloud-cover symbols. Several letters were also slightly bowed outward at the sides. Lowercase letters were not used; the typeboxes switched between LTRS (Letters) and FIGS (Figures).

CAA/FAA Teletype machines, including the Model ASR-28, used a later variation of the original five-level Baudot-coded paper-tape system, nylon-cloth ribbons, and a transmission rate of approximately 110 baud, or about 60 words per minute. The typeboxes had only 64 available characters, including CR, LR, SP, BEL, and NUL.

Around 1985, computer-automation upgrades using standard ASCII coding removed all weather symbols and replaced them with text-based descriptors. The consolidation of more than 360 Flight Service Stations into 64 Automated Flight Service Stations (AFSS) during the mid-to-late 1980s made the slow Teletype systems obsolete, and they were removed.

Around 2005, all FAA Flight Service Station facilities and personnel were sold (?) by the U.S. Government to Lockheed Martin Corporation, and the stations were consolidated to fewer than a handful nationwide.

The font reproduces the characters as printed by Teletype machines, including the appearance produced by a nylon-cloth inked ribbon and slight misalignment.

FONT NAME: TELETYPE 1945-1985
Copyright (c) 2008 by E. V. Norat II. All rights reserved. Permission to use this font is only granted for non-commerical; non-profit; private and/or personal purposes. Commercial use of this font is prohibited.

This typewriter-based, serif, mono-spaced font is similar, but not exactly, to the actual Teletype typeboxes, that where used initially by the Civil Aviation Agency (CAA), subsequently reorganized as the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), in the various electro-mechanical Teletype (TTY / TWX) machines. These teletypes were used by Air Traffic Controllers at over 360+ Flight Service Stations facilities, the U.S. Weather Bureau/Stations, international weather stations, military and many other facilities throughout the world for communications and weather reporting/transmission purposes.

The main unique differences from the standard teletype is that the CAA/FAA typeboxes included eight (8) wind direction arrows and four (4) cloud cover symbols. In addition, several letters were slightly bowed outward at the sides from standard teletype typeface(s). No lower case letters were used; instead the typeboxes were shifted between LTRS (Letters) and FIGS (Figures).The teletype, such as the ASR-28 model used a 5 level Baudot coded paper tape, a nylon-cloth ribbon, ran at a 110 baud rate, or about 60 words per minute and the typeboxes only had 64 characters available (including CR, LR, SP, BEL, NUL, etc.).

Around 1985, due to the computer automation upgrades using the new standard ASCII coding, all weather symbols were removed and replaced with text-based descriptors. In addition, the consolidation of 360+ Flight Service Stations to the new 64 Automated Flight Service Stations (AFSS) in the mid to late 1980s, made the slow teletype system(s) obsolete and was removed. About 2005, all the FAA Flight Service Station facilities/personnel were sold (?) by the U.S. Government to Lockheed-Martin Corporation and are expected to be further consolidated to less than a handful nationwide.

This font, TELETYPE 1945-1985, was made to appear as actual characters exactly as it was printed on teletype machines.
It accurately recreates a typeface as though it was printed through a nylon cloth inked ribbon and slightly askew.
