This typewriter-based, serif, mono-spaced font is similar, but not exactly, to the actual Teletype typeboxes. These were used initially by the Civil Aviation Agency (CAA) right after World War II (later reorganized as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)) in the various electro-mechanical Teletype (TTY / TWX) machines. These teletypes machines 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 primarily for weather reporting/dissemination purposes and for occasional communication purposes.

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.
