This is probably heavily customized, but can anyone suggest something similar?

Hi John. There are lots of distressed Couriers out there ...

this one comes up first with a google for "typewriter fonts"
http://www.free-typewriter-fonts.com/

Whoever did this one should've rounded
the cap and join when they outlined the font.

Maybe it wasn't Xtreme enough with rounded cap and join. Thanks, guys!

True ... also worth noting, the designer did the
repeated letters, same distress marks thang.

a fun thing to use to distress stuff
is FilterIt's Fractalize Filter.

I noticed that. It reminds me of an old Image Club font, but for the life of me I can't remember the name.

unknown

the Image Club fonts of this ilk were called
Schmutz, I think. Schmutz Corroded, Clogged.

Grant could confirm.

unknown

I'm sure he could -- he designed them.

unknown

Wow, how'd you find that? -- behind the typeface indeed! ;D

unknown

Chesh and I are like *that*.

All three of my Schmutz faces are still available from Agfa. Although, I believe that FF Trixie should warrant a mention while we're on the subject/
