File was created by William Dwiggins, Toshi Omagari and published by Tabular Type Foundry. Dossier consists of 16 styles and family package choices. The font is currently # 29 in Hot New Fonts. p >

Dossier is a monospaced serif face that comes from Dwiggins's designs for typewriter. It has a soft and casual personality and comes in 8 weights and matching italics, making it ideal for text typography, plan and advertisement design.

Dossier is an adjustment of William Addison Dwiggins's unfinished typewriter faces. He dealt with multiple typewriter manufactures consisting of Underwood, Remington Rand, and IBM, but none were finished. He left a number of appealing drawings which are now kept at the Boston Town Library. You could see in the drawings that Dwiggins was also interested in exploring designs of different width.

Toshi Omagari decided to combine these products to make a cohesive household: the upright was taken from a drawing of monospaced lowercase for an unknown client, and the italic was from the work he did for Underwood which he called 'Aldine'. Toshi included narrower and larger alternates in the very same way Dwiggins devised.
