Description:
Elite type
US keyboard modified to type in Croatian
6 typeslugs and keypapers were changed from the standard US keyboard at a time after it came out of the factory. The job was quite well-done, but there are a few quirks in the typeface because of it.

I started collecting typewriters in 2006, but what started it all was using my mother's Brother Student-Riter XL1 in 2004. The next year I received my grandma's Smith-Corona Silent, which was enough to hold me over for a little while but eventually led to an obsession with manual portable typewriters.
