10cpi Pica Typeface
A little stiff to type on, probably needs some lubrication. I had to adjust the escapement before I was able to use it because the carriage wasn't advancing, so it wasn't "in working condition" when I got it, but have been able to get it to a "mostly working condition". I'm not personally a huge fan of typing on this. I think it feels metallic and stiff, though this might have to do with some adjustments I still have to make.
It does have a really unique look.
