IBM

IBM first created original typefaces, such as Courier for their manual typewriters. In the 1960s, IBM’s Selectric and Selectric Composer typewriters offered interchangeable fonts via a spherical “element” (a.k.a “golf ball”) [ad, IBM100]. IBM produced and commissioned custom typefaces for these elements, often adapting existing printer’s typefaces.

This page includes Uses of IBM designed typefaces. For other Uses related to IBM, see Uses designed by IBM or Uses made with the Selectric.
