typographical error
Accidental text mistake
A typographical error is a mistake in printed or typed text—a wrong letter, transposed characters, or accidental omission.
Often shortened to typo.
The term distinguishes mechanical slips from errors of ignorance or intent: That's not how I spell my name; it's a typographical error.
