ABOUT US
Made for the creators.
We first opened our doors in Melbourne back in 2009 and during these 13 trips around the Sun, we’ve since expanded to over 200 stores across 13 countries.
Starting out as #stationeryaddicts, we’ve broadened our obsessions to much more than just stationery. From homewares to tech gear, hot gifts to craft supplies, desk essentials to boredom busters, we’ve got the goods to help vibe check your entire everyday life.
We’re disruptive, optimistic, inclusive, connected, unfiltered and just here for a good time. Typo exists to make everyday life anything but ordinary.
