Fellow typospherians, may I introduce myself? I'm Brancaleone da Norcia, Typewriter Hunter and TWDB Patron from Germany. My main focus is collecting portable machines from the 1950s to the 1970s. I particularly appreciate good industrial design and durable construction. Many Olivetti models inspire my enthusiasm. I'm pretty good at touch typing, enjoying it a lot – it's very contemplative. At last, I have a particular fondness for pangrams and am always happy to discover new ones. Looking forward to get in touch with you, kind regards, Brancaleone.
