Molly (the Purple Re*****on Portable 2) just wanted to make sure you knew about her favorite holiday. 😘

National Typewriter Day is celebrated annually on June 23, marking the anniversary of the day in 1868 that American inventor Christopher Latham Sholes & partners were granted a patent for the first commercially successful typewriter (U.S. Patent No. 79,265), with a keyboard layout that minimized jamming.

Today’s a great day to type a love note, creat typewritten art, or find your next analog love (and those who love them)— Happy National Typewriter Day!

Happy Juneteenth, Indy!
The Type Shop is closed today in support and celebration. It’s gorgeous out— and a great day for you to share the love with Black Artists, Black Activists, and Black-owned Businesses😎

We’ll be back in the shop tomorrow for the GP Yard Sale!
See you then.
