OCR FA CTU no. 1 is a digitization and interpretation of one of the least known IBM Selectric 10-pitch typewriter fonts (Printing and Publishing no. 2) in which no descenders exist. It is a nice visual feature but also a practical one allowing written languages with accents to use tighter leading.
In one of the first sketches, I applied the boxy technical character in all letters, resulting in an (f)rigid appearance. The technical barrel-shaped details are softened with the almost handwritten feel of some of the most used letters (a, e, s, r).
This eclectic monospace font is used throughout the yearbook of the Faculty of Architecture at the Czech Technical University 2021–22.
