Olympia SF
A stunning travel companion
The Olympia SF is a series of ultra-portable typewriters from the golden age of typewriter design. They come in a fairly broad range of models, colors, and features.
Made in Western Germany, these are heavy-duty, precision machines. For the record, SF = Schreibmaschine Flach ("Flat Typewriter").
The ‘Splendid 33, 66, and 99 have more features and more sound insulation within. Some have a two-tone ribbons selector. Others are more streamlined with just baseline features.
This makes for a lighter weight, more reliable machine (less to malfunction).
There are no superfluous elements like tab settings.
Olympia did a beautiful job bringing the magic of their larger SM models into a smaller package for travel. They also hold-up as a daily machine.
