Before computers, if someone wanted to write a letter that wasn't handwritten they used a typewriter.
Typewriters work by hitting a ribbon full of ink with a small piece of metal with a letter shape on it when you press the keys on the typewriter keyboard. This leaves the mark of a letter in ink on your piece of paper.
