Antiquated aesthetics are being integrated more prominently into technology products as brands seek to keep users interested, which is what's at work with the conceptual 'Typer.'
Created as a modern twist on the classic typewriter, the peripheral works by being typed on and instantly printing documents as you write them. This eliminates the ability to simply backspace mistakes and puts a focus on the old-fashioned approach of having to type carefully to get the spelling correct the first time.
The conceptual 'Typer' typewriter is the design work of Jannik Götz and acts as something of a novelty peripheral that would offer users the ability to type small notes, but does bring about a different kind of experience for modern users to enjoy.
