Beginner Fountain Pen
The feel of effortless writing
Fountain pens, with their friction-free ink flow, offer one of the quickest paths to creativity. As analog tools, they feel good in the hand and help you think more deeply. For beginner adults, we recommend the TWSBI Diamond 580 (above) or the entry-level TWSBI Eco. With the nib submerged in a bottle of fountain pen ink, you turn the knob at the non-writing end of the pen to draw the ink into the belly of the pen. Start with a Fine nib and as you fall in love with this effortless way of writing, you can venture into different nib and pen designs. For artists who need waterproof ink, please see our fountain pen sketch kits.
