Description:
Made in Spain. It is not the "Victoria Wide Elite" or "Victoria Elite" typeface. But almost. So for me it is " The Almost Victoria Wide Elite"
I made screenshots of the examples Munk published on his homepage and typed the same lines to compare.
If you ever plan to use parts from an Ivrea machine- other than the chassis- on a Barcelona machine .. Don't!
It will be a mess. I did it and won’t do it again. I had to put back the original parts.

My first typewriter had a Script typeface. The second machine was a Graphika with the Cassandre typeface.
I quickly discovered my interest in different typefaces, so I focused my collection on them.
Currently I can choose from 36 different typefaces.
