Prestige 12 Pitch Font Family was designed by Clayton Smith and published by Bitstream. Prestige 12 Pitch contains 4 styles and family package options. Limited to a single width for all characters and a rough image transferred through a ribbon to the paper, in 1953 Clayton Smith at IBM, Lexington, adapted the classical serifed letterform to this difficult medium to obtain a typewriter face of good readability and interesting texture.
