Typewriter font - techno pica

[andynorth]

Hello, really hope someone can help me to find a digital version of Techno Pica which was the font I had on an old typewriter from the 60s.

This is what it looks like

The nearest I've found is a version called Dead Postman Typewriter - a602 (dead postman 2004) - Free Font but I would like something closer to the original if possible.

Thanks for any advice

There are LOADS of typrewriter fonts on dafont. This one is similar but not as "clean" maybe Typewriter - a602 Font | dafont.com
also Fonts by Jens Marquardt Bonn | dafont.com

I am assuming you've tried whatthefont ?

Personally, i love the really old style typewriter font, especially if doing anything Western theme or even haunted house:

EDIT: also, Urban fonts is good but I ironicaly hate the site desgn layout!

Magda-Text font | FontPark.net - not a million miles away.

I Love typewriter typefaces, but I do find that most digital fonts are a little over the top in the worn-down look; which gets old very quickly - legibility and cheese issues spring to mind.

To be fair, when I see a draft in Typewriter font I cringe... its 2012's Comic Sans!

Many thanks for the suggestions, Magda Text is the closest so far. Not the prettiest font I've got to admit, but fits in 'authentically' for what I have in mind, and it should be small enough not to look too scruffy. Cheers
