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.
The main unique difference from the standard teletype typeboxes and the many numerous variations thereof, is that the CAA/FAA type boxes included specific type of weather symbols. These weather figure symbols were the eight (8) wind direction arrows and the four (4) cloud cover symbols. In addition, several letters were slightly

This typewriter-based, serif, mono-spaced font is similar, but not exactly, to the actual Teletype typeboxes, that where used initially by the Civil Aviation Agency CAA, subsequently reorganized as the Federal Aviation AdministrationFAA, in the various electro-mechanical Teletype TTY TWX machines. These teletypes were used by Air Traffic Controllers at over 360+ Flight Service Stations facilities, the U. S. Weather BureauStations, international weather stations, military and many other facilities throughout the world for communications and weather reportingtransmission purposes.
The main unique differences from the standard teletype is that the CAAFAA typeboxes included eight 8 wind direction arrows and four 4 cloud cover symbols. In addition, several letters were slightly “bowed” outward at the sides from standard teletype typefaces. No lower case letters were used; instead the typeboxes were shifted between LTRS Letters and FIGS Figures. The teletype, such as the ASR-28 model used a 5 level Baudot coded paper tape, a nylon-cloth ribbon, ran at a 110 baud rate, or about 60 words per minute and the typeboxes only had 64 characters available including CR, LR, SP, BEL, NUL, etc. .
Around 1985, due to the computer automation upgrades using the new standard ASCII coding, all weather symbols were removed and replaced with text-based descriptors. In addition, the consolidation of 360+ Flight Service Stations to the new 64 Automated Flight Service Stations AFSS in the mid to late 1980’s, made the slow teletype systems obsolete and was removed. About 2005, all the FAA Flight Service Station facilitiespersonnel were sold ? by the U. S. Government to Lockheed-Martin Corporation and are expected to be further consolidated to less than a handful nationwide.
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.
