The font is very similar to original typewriter lettering, with a few exceptions such as the R,e, & and the $ sign. A computer does not have these variations - every letter, every word on the screen or on the printed page would be identical by default.

It was based on the form of the letters produced by early typewriters, which was patented in 1868.
