Are there any typewriters still in production for those after a classic style of typewriting? (lemm.ee)

Apparently, yes.

That's impressive! It looks like many of them are "reconditioned" so not completely new, but interesting to see people maintaining them.

Nakajima still make some electronic daisy wheel typewriters.

A couple of companies still make manual typewriters, but they are widely regarded as garbage.

That said a lot of old typewriters, especially manual ones, will work fine, and the ribbons are widely available.
