document with math in typewriter text

Question

I am trying to emulate old mathematics course notes from the 90's, written on typewriter. I am not looking to match the typeface exactly, but rather the general style of the document.

I have tried loading various typewriter and monospace fonts with XeTeX, but none seem to provide a usably complete set of maths symbols (operators, upright uppercase greek, ...). Here is the gist of what I tried:

\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}

\setmainfont{CMU Typewriter Text}
\setmathfont{CMU Typewriter Text}

More specifically, I have tried loading essentially every typewriter or monospace font I could find. I have also tried setting all font variants manually in the \setxxxxfont call. Nothing seems to produce a usable typewritten maths alphabet. Everything seems to produce a warning that the "Math" script is missing in the font.

Can someone provide a font selection (for pdfLaTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, ...) that will result in the entire document, including almost all maths, being set in a typewriter or monospace font?

I had seen that, but it goes a bit too far in items of emulation :) — , May 02 '20 at 10:02
sure but you can take the math settings and leave out the overprinting and random rotation silliness — David Carlisle, May 02 '20 at 10:04
But does that not still replace things like \sqrt and \pmatrix with single character equivalents as would be found on an actual typewriter? I would like to keep the TeX math typesetting as much as possible intact, only in a typewriter font. — , May 02 '20 at 10:52
