The last typewriter I owned had a way to release the carriage so you could align things. I don’t think that lack of vertical alignment on those fields means anything.
What? You mean it’s not image enhancement algorithms that reposition typewritten characters, or lenses that distort only typewritten characters and not the form?
I learned to type on a manual typewriter, and it is my recollection that when you released the carriage, it always fell back into the spaces allocated for letters.
There was no way to release the carriage into a position between letters. How could there be? It must fall into a spot allocated by the gear teeth on the carriage.
