Typewritery

Its etchings, by Herbert Nye, are steeped in the spirit of the story. The type, imitated, with supposed improvements, from a quarto Elzevir (a type not compressed like that of the pocket Elzevirs), is too modern in its businesslike roundness and with its typewritery short tails to the bs and ds, ps and qs.

Naturally, it looks "typewritery," but it is not displeasing, and is quite neat.

Indeed, the serial data transmission method that we looked at in the preceding section was originally worked out to allow typewritery machines called teletypes (you sometimes see them in very old movies) to talk to early computers.
