I need this font, where can I get it?

So today got cursed...

Image ID: A Google docs file open in edit mode with an old inky typewriter font called "Special Elite" selected. In this font there is a paragraph reading: "This is the best font in Google Docs and any attempts to convince me otherwise will be met with me hiring a hacker to hack into all your accounts to make it so that whatever you do, it will not change the fact that all your writing and reading will be done in Comic Sans. You will be sending emails in Comic Sans. Your essays will be in Comic Sans. Your favourite ebooks will have to be read in Comic Sans. Your dead relative's funeral cards which you were put in charge of will all be in Comic Sans."

graphic designers take fonts so seriously and it's honestly fucking hilarious to me. one of them asks for feedback on a perfectly good flyer, and the rest all form a little huddle around the screen, squint very seriously at it, and go, "no... no you've used Proxima Nova, we use that for print. this is digital, you need Roboto instead."

and you look up the fonts later out of morbid curiosity and they're just like. basically the same font gjdshgkdslghslk

i'm sure there are a lot of important differences! no, i cannot see them. i am an editor, not a graphic designer; i possess a different set of mundane and pedantic superpowers, such as the ability to instantly determine if you've used the wrong kind of dash. your job is silly and so is mine, but without us, god knows they'd be splicing commas in Party LET. Come, let us laugh at ourselves for a little while.
