Is it possible to travel on a Schengen visa if it contains a typo?

According to the Handbook for the processing of visa applications:

If an error is detected by the issuing consulate after the visa
sticker has been affixed to the travel document, the visa sticker
shall be invalidated by drawing a cross with indelible ink on the visa
sticker and a new visa sticker shall be affixed to a different page.

Which means you have to apply to the consulate which issued your visa to receive an updated visa sticker.

If you still have enough days before travel, it’s better to contact the consulate and make an attempt to correct it. They may even issue a new visa if the mistake is on their part.
