I use an Olivetti Lettera 35 for a lot of things now. I enjoy using it for a whole bunch of reasons, but the main one is that you don't have to manage it. It's just there. Paper in, type. No notifications to turn off, no software updates, no battery, no power. Computers are great and all and do so much, but it's nice to have a break from all their admin.
I also like the typeface the Olivetti uses (Elite) and that there's red and black and nothing else, but I did fancy being able to make large headings or labels to match, as I keep some pages in cardboard folders and it'd be good to label them. They're too big and stiff to go through the typewriter and the card is coloured so the type won't show up anyway. So, paper labels? Yes… but… that wouldn't be fun.
A while ago I bought some alphabet ink stamps from Present and Correct and they're nice but what I found was they're hard to align and space out evenly. They're also all in capitals in that typeface that reminds me of assembly instructions for workshop equipment.
