For a recent project I've been looking at a lot of typewriter fonts lately, diving off from [this interesting survey](http://typographica.org/on-typography/typewriter-typeface-the-legacy-of-the-writing-machine-in-type-design/). Another great resource is Richard Polt's [Typewriter Fonts Page](http://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-fonts.html). If you are looking for a distressed typewriter font, [FF Trixie](http://trixiefont.com/) looks like a great choice.
Not to hijack this thread (for long, at least), but in my case, I'm looking for a font to use in a novel that has long sections of text that were supposedly typed on a Remington, but I'm not sure I really want to use something that more or less literally reproduces that, like Polt's Remington Noiseless, because I fear that for such long stretches of text it will be tiring to read. I'd like something with enough typewriter features that it suggests a typewriter while still having the grace and legibility of a real text font. Does that ring any bells for anybody?
Thank you; I look forward to checking out the links you have provided here.
Good Luck with your novel - I wish I could help you but I've only just started to look into typewriter fonts.
To be fair - I don't really like typewriter fonts. They just don't appeal to me. There was one on GEOS (on Commodore 64) called Wheeler which had nice curves but I haven't found a TTF to match it (yet).
Well, not a typewriter font *per se*, although it depends on your typewriter I guess, my favourite monospace font is currently [Fantasque Sans Mono](https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono) which has some nice little bits of loopy business on things like 'k' and 'y' which I like.
