Friction-free ink flow: Fountain pens offer a unique ink flow that you never experience with a ballpoint or rollerball pen. Ink is magically delivered from the nib to the page just as you need it and if the barrel is transparent, you get the pleasure of seeing all the ink sloshing around as you write.

Analog tool for deep thinking: Writing with a fountain pen is effortless. They require less hand pressure and brain power, freeing you up to concentrate on your creative work. We naturally have authors and artists buying pens from us and when one of them calls about a misplaced pen, we can hear the distress.

Personalisation: With so many fountain pen options, half the fun is in finding the combination of nib, ink and paper to perfectly suit your hand. Jen our pen specialist collects data on different nibs and ink properties, answering calls to guide your choice. We also offer free nib tuning to tweak the nib for right or left handed use. People use fountain pens for writing, calligraphy, drawing and many enjoy the hobby of collecting and the active community of pen lovers.

Sustainability: Fountain pens are refillable and can last a lifetime with some care. Many designs are also cartridge free, filling directly into the belly of the pen, further reducing landfill. It's common practice to fill up a piston filling fountain pen and be writing for a month.
- Cool designs: If you've never used or haven't used a fountain pen since school days, it's time to see the innovation coming out of the big fountain pen markets like Japan and Taiwan. From different nib architectures, numerous filling mechanisms, stop leak valves for air travel, to sophisticated ink formulations using nano pigments or shimmer particles, fountain pens have moved away from a nostalgic writing instrument to a fun and functional tool for creativity.
We think fountain pens are your fastest way to creativity. They get you off your device, are completely portable and let's admit it, we all want to be a bit more like that artist or writer with the cool pen.
