Picked up this cleaned and serviced Olympia Traveller de Luxe S on Friday drop me a message if you would like a typed letter The model S has the Elite 11pt font, unless I be mistaken. I do enjoy those clean fonts. Not every font was created equal, and I suppose not everyone realizes that committing to a typewriter is more than the exterior aesthetics of the machine itself (though, I do like the look there on yours). I found that I could eventually dislike a beautiful machine that had a bulky or otherwise unpleasant font. You can expect a message from me to soon follow.

Clunked out a missive yesterday on my typewriter. I'm happy with just one... Though I do miss having an ! key.

Clunked out a missive yesterday on my typewriter. I'm happy with just one... Though I do miss having an ! key. I like the 1950-ish models best, leaning into the 1960-ish ones. Somewhere in the middle, each company decided when to have the [1] key added in, atop of which often sits the [!].
Having to hit [.] + [backspace] + ['] can seem tedious, but I sort of consider the lack of the [1] key as standard and the inclusion of it a luxury on my "fancy" machines.
