Fully Restored Olivetti Lettera 32 Portable Typewriter | Rare Consilium Typeface, Brand-New Platen & Original Accessories Set

📖 Product Overview & Typographic Rarity: The Ultimate Collector’s Lettera 32 A distillation of timeless Italian design and precision engineering: the iconic Olivetti Lettera 32, presented here with an exceptionally rare prize—the scarce Consilium typeface designed by master typographer Imre Reiner (the renowned creator behind rare typefaces on Olivetti Graphika machines). Restored at our  workshop by Walid & Joujou (featured experts on BBC’s The Repair Shop), this compact workhorse merges  literary heritage with flawless daily typing performance.

What makes this machine a true crown jewel for collectors is its rarity: while the Consilium typeface was occasionally found on Italian QZERTY layouts, it is exceedingly scarce on standard QWERTY keyboards. In over a decade of specialist restoration, we have only ever discovered three Consilium-equipped machines worldwide. Preserved in very good to excellent original green condition and accompanied by its original case, manual, and rare cleaning brushes, this museum-grade piece is built to deliver smooth, expressive typing for generations.
