Experience the preserved timeless elegance of Italian design with this Olivetti Underwood Lettera 32 (1960s)-a true classic from the golden age of typewriters. Introduced in 1963 as the successor to the beloved Lettera 22, the Lettera 32 features Marcello Nizzoli’s refined design — slightly boxier and more substantial than its predecessor, with improved key action, larger paper knobs, and a satisfyingly crisp typing feel. Produced primarily in Ivrea, Italy (with select models made in Spain for the U.S. market under the Olivetti Underwood name), this portable powerhouse was a favorite among journalists, authors, and travelers for decades.Why you’ll love it:
- Compact and portable yet solidly built — perfect for a writing desk or occasional travel
- Smooth, responsive keyboard with excellent touch and quiet operation
- Classic Pica typeface (most common) with sharp, even imprint
- Signature Olivetti aesthetics in that distinctive teal-gray finish
It's a collector’s favorite delivering beauty and performance and a beginner-friendly choice. The Lettera 32 remains one of the most recommended vintage portables for good reason.
