“‘Lettera’ was adapted from a small sample of a typeface designed by Josef Müller-Brockmann (1914–96), which had been commissioned by Olivetti in the mid-to-late 1970s for use on their newly-introduced golf ball typewriters. It went into production under the font names ‘Candia’ and ‘Livia’ and later also became available for machines using the daisy wheel technology. Kobi Benezri’s elegant digital re-interpretation (named ‘Lettera’ after the iconic portable typewriter Lettera 22, designed by the epochal Marcello Nizzoli, also for Olivetti) was developed into a family of six cuts, adding bolder cuts and matching italics.” — Lineto

Originally known as Lettera and later renamed to Lettera Mono.
