It's kinda ambiguous. Alien ghost angel reincarnation of the count of st. Germain. Only had typewriter about a month. Maybe should clean. Had to fix the ribbon at times, so sometimes it gets wacky but rustic looking

A toothpick can harmlessly remove the build up from the ribbon that fills the hollows in letters like P or A. The hammers will hit the ribbon more firmly and make sharper letters. (I'm so old I wrote my research results on a manual typewriter.)

Vintage tech is a lot of fun! (Clarifying: A toothpick can harmlessly remove the build up from the typeface on the hammers that fills the hollows in letters like P or A. The ribbon sheds tiny fibers which, mixed with ink, form a paste.)
