Guest post: Repairing an Olivetti Graphika
Many thanks to Julian W. for taking us through a mechanical adventure with his Olivetti Graphika, a manual proportional-spacing typewriter. ("Sperrschrift" refers to e x t e n d e d s p a c i n g, which is activated by a lever on this machine.)
You can read about my own Graphika with Cassandre type here. And on Rob Bowker's Typewriter Heaven blog, you can read about his Graphika with Reiner type. If you can't find a Graphika but like the typefaces, you can download digital versions from my website.
