What is the Passport font?
For those purchasing their first typewriter fonts and to our diehard collectors as well, PassPort presents a friendly new port-of-entry.

PassPort is a typewriter family of fonts intended for ease of use and affordability. This is a warm font in a cold cruel world and a real port in the storm! It is versatile in today’s layouts.
Historically, PassPort was digitized from a shiny black enamel 1948 Royal Silent Deluxe portable.

…Please enjoy the fruits of its travels, hoping your destinations and explorations into graphic design and letter composition are happy ones.
