Pica or Elite? Understanding Typewriter Font Sizes

A simple guide to the two most common typewriter pitches—and how each one changes the character of your page.

Most traditional typewriters use fixed-width typefaces, meaning every character occupies the same amount of horizontal space. The size is normally described by the number of characters that fit into one inch.

10 CPI

Pica

Larger, wider lettering that is clear, comfortable to read and unmistakably classic.

12 CPI

Elite

Smaller, more compact lettering that fits more characters—and more text—on each line.

Choose Elite for a neat, compact and efficient appearance.

Choose Pica for larger, clearer and more traditional typewritten text.

Worth knowing: Elite is usually 12 CPI, although less common variations such as 11 CPI also exist. Always check the actual typing sample when choosing a vintage typewriter.
