Telegramo was designed by Laurenz Feinig and published by Volcano Type. Telegramo contains 9 styles and family package options.
Telegramo is modeled on a historic telegraph from Belgrade to Vienna 1914.
The original archetypal character set consists of lowercase letters and numerals only. Uppercase letters and special characters were added after careful research. Contact pressure variations of the rudimentary type writing machine are directly imitated in the three weights: the regular weights edges are sharp, medium edges are rounded and the bold letters can nearly be called soft.
Since the original typeface did not seem perfectly suitable for modern desktop publishing purposes, two additional stylistic sets were created for each weight, improving certain issues in rhythm, legibility and quirkiness.
