导语Typewriter fonts are a popular choice to incorporate into vintage

Typewriter fonts are a popular choice to incorporate into vintage and retro designs. Courier is probably the best known font of this type but there are many other typewriter-inspired designs out there – and some of them won't cost you a penny, see our selection of the top free typewriter fonts. We also have a brilliant collection of free tattoo fonts and web fonts.

Here, however, we've scoured the internet to find the very best paid-for typewriter fonts that are worth shelling out for to ensure your retro designs have that cutting edge.

01. If a grungy typewriter feel is what you're after, you can't go wrong with Trixie

If a grungy typewriter feel is what you're after, you can't go wrong with Trixie – one of the oldest FontFont typefaces. Until recently, its origin was unknown. It was raised in The Hague by 'foster father' Erik van Blokland. But who conceived it? The book 'Made with FontFont' finally provided the answer. Trixie's 'mother font' was called Triumph Durabel, and was born in Nuremberg in around 1930.

02. Letter Gothic

This typewriter-style font was designed for IBM

Roger Roberson designed Letter Gothic for IBM around the early '60s. The flat lettering is clean and beautiful. This monospaced sans serif typeface is available in a variety of different weights.

03. Olivetti is great for mimicking the sloppy ink effect of older machines

Created by designer Iza W, this classic typewriter font is great for mimicking the sloppy ink effect of older machines. Available in five different weights, Olivetti offers a traditional typewriter style.

05. Colón Mono was influenced by the aesthetic of a typewriter

A distressed font, Erased Typewriter great for creating authentic feel

Paulo W is the type designer behind Erased Typewriter 2, a distressed font, great for creating authentic feel. Customise your designs with a choice of four weights; regular, bold, italic and underscore.

07. This light weight typewriter font is beautiful and classical

The Aminta Regular is a beautiful cross between the originality and depth of the typewriter courier classic and a sophisticated Helvetica touch added to create a modern balance.

11. Aminta Black looks like someone has repeatedly pressed a key when the carriage is stuck!
