Orator (IBM)

Originally designed for IBM typewriters as Orator (uppercase and small caps). [1983 IBM catalog] “The name Orator comes from the notion that capitals and small capitals are clearer than upper and lowercase letters, thus making it useful for speech notes.” [Adobe] See also Orator Presentor for a version with lowercase.

Digital versions by Adobe and Linotype, as well as by SoftMaker and FontSite.
