-The IBM Selectric typewriter was a highly successful model line of electric typewriters introduced by IBM on July 31, 1961.[1]Instead of the "basket" of individual typebars that swung up to strike the ribbon and page in a traditional typewriter, the Selectric had a type element (frequently called a "typeball") that rotated and pivoted to the correct position before striking. The type element could be easily changed so as to print different fonts in the same document, resurrecting a capacity that had been pioneered by the Blickensderfer typewriter sixty years before.[2] The Selectric also replaced the traditional typewriter's moving carriage with a paper roller ("platen") that stayed in position while the typeball and ribbon mechanism moved from side to side. Selectrics and their descendants eventually captured 75 percent of the United States market for electric typewriters used in business.[3] IBM replaced the Selectric line with the IBM Wheelwriterin 1984 and transferred its typewriter business to the newly formed Lexmark in 1991.[4]-Elements and fonts:The Selectric I, Selectric II, and all of the "Magnetic Card" and "Magnetic Tape" variations except for the Composers, used the same typing elements. These were available in many fonts, including symbols for science and mathematics, OCR faces for scanning by computers, cursive script, "Old English" (fraktur), and more than a dozen ordinary alphabets. The IBM Office Products division produced a series of typewriter faces that led the world in their design. -Some of the interchangeable font elements available for the Selectric models included:

-Monospaced:A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts to variable-width fonts, where the letters differ in size to one another. The first monospaced typefaces were designed for typewriters, which could only move the same distance forward with each letter typed. This also meant that monospaced fonts need not be typeset like variable width fonts and were, arguably easier to deal with.-

-Orator is a monospaced typeface made up of capitals and small capitals only; it can be used for tabular material or technical documentation. The name Orator comes from the notion that capitals and small capitals are clearer than upper and lowercase letters, thus making it useful for speech notes. It was designed for IBM typewriters by John Scheppler in 1962.-2 variations in the font family:Orator Std [none] MediumOrator Std Italic Slanted-

-Typeface - Orator StdGroups- Monospaced, Sans-SerifClassification: Technical, Sans Serif, Geometric Sans, Square Sans, Western, Business, Newsletters.-Sans-Serif:In typography, a sans-serif typeface is one that does not have the small projecting features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The term comes from the French word sans, meaning "without". In print, sans-serif fonts are more typically used for headlines than for body text. The conventional wisdom holds that serifs help guide the eye along the lines in large blocks of text. Sans-serifs, however, have acquired considerable acceptance for body text in Europe. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for body text on-screen, especially online. This is partly because interlaced displays may show twittering on the fine details of the horizontal serifs and the low resolution of digital displays in general can make fine details like serifs disappear or appear too large.-
