May is Hermes Month!
If you haven’t heard of Hermes typewriters, it’s time for you to get in the loop!
Hermes is a Swiss brand of typewriters known for making beautiful, functional, easy to use typewriters that work for everyone, churning out page after page without skipping a beat.
The iconic green Hermes keys
The Hermes 3000 is arguably the best known of the brand, and for good reason. It’s a portable machine with every feature a typist could need, including easy to set, visible margins, a keyboard tabulator, and a built-in case bottom so it’s super sturdy.
The 3000 types like a dream, with keys that are molded to fit your fingertips. There’s a reason it’s Tom Hanks’s favorite machine!

The Hermes Ambassador is the full-size, tabletop behemoth that can (literally and figuratively) take anything you might throw at it. It can do everything the 3000 can, except maybe fit in a backpack, plus it has a quick paper loader, a decimal tabulator, and a giant backspace key.
If you type a whole lot, or if you just want the sturdiest, most feature-filled machine out there, this is the one for you!
