I don't know if I'd call the Amstrad/Schneider PCW "Joyce" a
typewriter, but it used 3 inch CF2 floppies. Rather than struggle
with trying to find the blasted things on this side of the pond for
mine, I converted over to 720K DS 3.5" drives. More storage than the
original.
The Zenith Minisport used 2" floppies (the same media used on the
Canon Xapshot camera (and some others).
As has been mentioned, there are also 2.8" and 3.25" inch floppies.
There's also a 12" floppy, but it doesn't hold much:
