Olivetti became famous for the meticulous attention it paid to the design of its products, through collaborations with notable architects and designers, over a nearly 60-year period starting in the late 1930s. An early example is the portable 1932 Olivetti MP1 (Modello Portatile in Italian). From the 1940s to the 1960s, Olivetti industrial design was led by Marcello Nizzoli, who was responsible for the Lexicon 80 and the portable Lettera 22 typewriters, which were released in 1948 and 1950 respectively. The architect and designer Ettore Sottsass began consulting for Olivetti in the late 1950s and designed a series of products including the Tekne 3 typewriter in 1958, the Elea 9003 computer in 1959, and later, the Praxis 48 typewriter in 1964 and the Valentine portable typewriter in 1969. In 1954, Mario Tchou joined Olivetti and was in put in charge of a team responsible for creating a commercial computer. In 1957, the team created the Elea 9001. Tchou went on to lead a team of 500 engineers, and decided to include transistors in the Elea 9003. Mario Bellini joined Sottsass at Olivetti in 1963. He designed the Programma 101 (1965), the Divisumma 18 (1973), and the Logos 68 (1973) calculators, and in 1966 the TCV-250 video display terminal.

Classic aesthetics of serif typewriters.

Lettra is a monospaced serif typeface that explores the design challenges of modular spacing, with each character individually crafted to ensure consistent weight and proportion across the set. The design draws inspiration from the classic aesthetics of serif typewriter fonts and the detailed classifications seen in botanical drawings. It showcases a strong vertical contrast and distinctive diamond-shaped details, blending nostalgic appeal with mechanical precision.

With eight weights in both upright and italic styles, PP Lettra balances structure with character and creativity. It supports a wide range of languages and features, offering a variety of alternated characters. Additionally, the font includes an experimental set of characters, such as unconventional ligatures, ordinal abbreviations, an unusual double-width uppercase and lowercase Oo, and a distinctive sigil.
