My wife and I are presently reading a book, The Silence by Don Delillo. The book is designed by a very trendy outfit in New York http://paulsahre.com/
The book which is very short is set entirely in what looks similar to American Typewriter. But the designer has used ligatures. I have to wonder, he is a youngish designer, if he even realizes that typewriters did not have ligatures or if he just automatically had ligatures enabled as a default setting.
Sticks out like a hog on a sofa to me but probably not to a generation that have never known typewriters.
Attached is an example I did with American Typewriter.
