Artisan12 by Volker Busse is your best bet for reproducing this typewriter font:

Artisan 12 was available on the IBM Selectric model of typewriters:

I actually typed my first two years of college papers with this font on a Selectric—until Apple made my campus one of its beta sites for the Mac.
ipsky84, I initially thought the letterhead had something to do with Swedish Telecom, or at the very least broadcasting/radio. But I found the same icon on a "Riksenergi" 2014 calendar.
Can you enlighten me? And who is this Mikael dude?
Kevin, thanks for sharing. My typewriter skills began with my Royal portable in Junior High, which served me well throughout my University Years. Later I made do with antique machines for documents that were best not passed to the secretaries -- who had the Selectrics. But I did become familiar with the typefaces on the elements for the Selectrics. I thought then, and I still do, that they were mostly well designed, within the limits of monospace. But I too was happy when my office moved to the Mac and laser printers in the early 1980s.

It's part of the (fictional) work of Simon Stålenhag (http://www.simonstalenhag.se), an artist here in Sweden. Thought provoking artwork he has.
Thank you kthomps5. I did have this font in my collection, but couldn't connect the dots. I believe its a perfect match.

Good find Kevin. I did not spot any letter-form conflicts and the date [1988] and source of the document [government or corporate] are consistent with an IBM Selectric.
