The Selectric typewriter was introduced on 31 July 1961. Its industrial design is credited to influential American designer Eliot Noyes. Noyes had worked on a number of design projects for IBM; prior to his work on the Selectric, he had been commissioned in 1956 by Thomas J. Watson to create IBM’s first house style: these influential efforts, in which Noyes collaborated with Paul Rand, Marcel Breuer, and Charles Eames, have been referred to as the first “house style” program in American business. In 1972, the “Mag Card Executive” was offered. Like IBM’s earlier typebar-based “Executive” models this offered proportional spacing, but unlike them, based on multiples of a 1/60" unit size with up to seven units per character, instead of a unit size of 1/32", 1/36", or 1/45", depending on the size of the typestyle, with up to five units per character as was used on the original “Executive” typewriters.

Gaming keyboards have evolved significantly over the years, becoming an essential component for gamers seeking a competitive edge and an enhanced gaming experience. Unlike standard keyboards, gaming keyboards are specifically designed with the needs of gamers in mind, offering a range of features that cater to the demands of different gaming genres. One of the key characteristics of gaming keyboards is their emphasis on durability and responsiveness. Many are equipped with mechanical switches, which are preferred for their tactile feedback and fast actuation. This means that each key press is registered more quickly and accurately, a critical factor in fast-paced games where every millisecond counts. The durability of these switches also means they can withstand millions of keystrokes, making them a reliable choice for gamers who spend hours at their computers. Customizability is another hallmark of gaming keyboards. Many come with programmable keys, allowing gamers to assign specific functions or macros to certain keys. This feature is particularly useful in complex games where quick access to certain actions can be a game-changer. Additionally, gaming keyboards often feature customizable backlighting, not only adding an aesthetic appeal but also helping gamers locate keys quickly in low-light conditions. Ergonomics also plays a significant role in the design of gaming keyboards. Many are designed to reduce strain during prolonged gaming sessions, with features such as wrist rests and keys placed in an easily accessible layout. This focus on comfort helps prevent fatigue and the risk of repetitive strain injuries, which can be a concern for gamers who play for extended periods. Another aspect of gaming keyboards is the integration of additional features such as dedicated media controls, USB pass-through ports, and audio jacks. These features enhance the overall gaming setup by providing easy access to volume control, allowing for the connection of other peripherals directly to the keyboard, and enabling private listening through headphones. In summary, gaming keyboards are much more than just input devices; they are carefully engineered to enhance the gaming experience. With their durable and responsive keys customizable features, ergonomic designs, and additional functionalities.

The Touch ID key on Apple keyboards represents a noteworthy advancement in the realm of convenience and security within Apple’s ecosystem. Originally debuting on the iPhone, Touch ID has since been incorporated into Apple’s MacBook line, underscoring the company’s dedication to biometric security. Integrated primarily into the power button on MacBooks, the Touch ID sensor allows users to unlock their device, authorize purchases, and input passwords swiftly with a mere touch. The underlying technology is a sophisticated fingerprint recognition system, employing a capacitive touch sensor to accurately read the unique patterns of a user’s fingerprint. One of the key benefits of Touch ID is the enhanced security it provides. Fingerprint-based authentication offers a more robust defense against unauthorized access compared to traditional password systems, thanks to the uniqueness of fingerprints. In addition to security, Touch ID brings unparalleled convenience. It enables users to access their devices rapidly without the hassle of typing passwords, a boon for those who frequently lock and unlock their devices. This feature also streamlines the user experience significantly. It simplifies various processes, such as making online purchases or accessing password-protected applications, reducing the steps needed for authentication. Importantly, Touch ID ensures that fingerprint data remains secure, storing the information locally on the device rather than on cloud servers, adding an extra layer of privacy protection. In the wider Apple ecosystem, Touch ID is integral to ensuring a seamless user experience. It’s a key component of Apple Pay, facilitating secure and effortless payment authorizations. Additionally, it’s synchronized with Apple’s AutoFill feature in Safari, allowing for the quick and secure filling of passwords and personal information. Since its introduction, Touch ID has received positive feedback for its user-friendly nature and the heightened security it offers. Apple has continually refined the technology, enhancing its speed and reliability. The incorporation of Touch ID into Apple keyboards, particularly in MacBooks, reflects the company’s commitment to merging advanced security features with ease of use, moving towards a more secure, efficient, and user-centric digital experience.

In our time, the process of writing and editing are conflated. We operate in a simultaneous process of writing and re-writing through omnipresent screens – many of us cannot relate to the struggle of taking out a new sheet of paper and inserting it into a typewriter to start over. Instead we work comfortably in the age of command-Z. With Affix, designers can pull from the essence of an earlier era combined with contemporary proportions and striking details. To be a writer (or perhaps a designer) is also to be a kind of editor – working through a constant process of selection and omission, of highlighting and crossing out, in order to let the most important moments – stand out.

In the development of letterforms for typewriters, a key part of the process was one of adaptation – designers who initially drew type for companies like IBM and Olivetti were often contractors who relied on in-house designers and engineers to adapt their drawings to production requirements. With reference to this history, it is fitting that Affix was initiated as a strict monospace set, before being reworked and finished as a proportional font, capturing the mood of these sources while rejecting their methodology. Due to their past usage, monospace typewriter fonts are embedded with a connotation of archives, libraries and systems of documentation. A range of catalogues of metal typewriter faces were examined at the onset of the project in 2019, with the goal of capturing a specific sentiment, rather than reviving a single source.

The drawings were initiated in a rigorous process, under a nearly monolinear construction where all units were divisible by 5 and with minimal overshoot. After creating the initial fixed-pitch draft, Malte Bentzen opted to introduce an unexpected edit for this context – round geometric forms including the uppercase O, reminiscent of Futura, or perhaps more directly, ITC Lubalin Graph, Herb Lubalin and Ed Benguiat’s 1974 slab serif display family. In addition to Affix’s geometric shapes, letters normally compressed in a mono (M, m, W, w) were given breathing room, evolving from a mechanical monospace to a lively proportional family. Certain elements capture both a softness and a sharpness of the genre like the lowercase ‘c’ with its top terminal ending in a teardrop-like shape, while the bottom terminal is sharply sheared horizontally. Unique details including the diagonal moment at the top of the ’t’ add to the rhythm of the text once set. Inspired by the archives but atypical, Affix is destined to be documented.
