NN Éditeur began with a spark from the past — the Light Italic from an IBM Golfball typewriter. Our friend Alexander Colby came across it in an old IBM Selectric® specimen and couldn’t let it go. So he brought it into the digital age.

But that was just the beginning.

What started as a one-weight curiosity evolved into a deeper dive into typewriter aesthetics. The result: a type family in three parts — Éditeur Italic, Éditeur Serif, and Éditeur Semi — each with five weights. A quiet homage to analog machinery, reimagined for the screen and page.
