An angle view of the Freewrite Valentine

A love letter
to writing.

In a world filled with digital distractions, Freewrite Valentine brings back the timeless art of writing from the heart.

No browsers, no apps, no notifications. No AI, and no autocorrect. Just you and your thoughts — and automatic cloud backup, so you can access your drafts from anywhere.

No swiping. No scrolling.
No texting, no second-guessing.
Just you and your Valentine.

A modern
sonnet.

Your writing tools should be as unapologetically outspoken as you are.

The Freewrite Valentine features all of the beloved elements of the Freewrite Smart Typewriter wrapped in a bold red aluminum chassis. An orange power button, and sleek black mechanical keyboard complete the look.

Valentine fits seamlessly into its own custom-designed hard-plastic carrying case, and a convenient shoulder strap playfully shouts the name of your typewriter to the world.

The Freewrite Valentine Girl

Ode to
a classic.

A image of the original Olivetti typewriter

1969

Over half a century ago, the legendary designer Ettore Sottsass created a groundbreaking typewriter for Olivetti called Valentine. It featured a unique design with an all ABS body and an integrated carrying case.

Its lovable color palette, exposed keys, and subversive design perfectly captured the cultural feeling at the time. Now a favorite among collectors, Valentine is a design icon that has a permanent place in the history books.

Modern designers are afraid of red. It's too bold, too opinionated, too personal. That's exactly why I love it. Red drips with emotion.”
