Wow! My dream type face at 0:55, "Simplicitas"? In a pile of typewriters I only have ONE with a sans-serif type, an Adler J5. I think it's called "Cubic"? I just found that out yesterday, about something I got in 1974! Anyway, I'm sort of following up here. This is a pretty jolly story so far. Such things occasionally happen here in FLorida. It's probably possible to end up with a warhouse full of typewriters. Maybe just... four or five more? This isn't the best climate to store them!
Ah, the type we just saw is more "Bauhaus" looking than the Adler's. The Adler still has a little elaboration on a few letters, the lower-case r especially. What we see here seems completely modernized. Did I even know that typewriter type faces were a study? I think 97 per cent of typewriters I've ever seen had about the same look. I suppose this information must be in a book or a web-site somewhere.
The Everest has RaRo 280 (Moderne Pica-Blockschrift) with the "falling t" and not Simplicitas. I am sure you know the difference between those typefacesfaces and made the slip in unawareness. That collector does have many remarkable machines!
@@MrMrsVintageTypewritersI am incorrect. The Everest typeface is not RaRo 280 with a descender on the f. The Everest typeface is more akin to Vogue with a descender on the f. It's called Simplex. My apologies for the error. RaRo 280 is rounder and better proportioned than Simplex or Vogue. Neither RaRo 280, Simplex or Vogue can hold a candle to Simplicitas, as far as I'm concerned. I know few agree, and I don't mind being wrong about that. 😉
@@MrMrsVintageTypewritersHa! That will teach me to go spouting off before reviewing typing samples. It is entertaining to look for the differences between related faces like Simplex, Vogue and RaRo 280.
A true treasure trove xxx Thank you as always for sharing x
Pleasure ☺️… check the other video as well. More details 💚

We love cubic typeface. Thanks for sharing
Did they make an even 4,000 with the Cassandre typeface? Amazing how truly rare that beautiful machine is! I wonder how many are still accounted for.
Not many.. I have hardly seen 30
An amazing story 😘
