The right pen, the one you keep

The difference isn’t obvious at first glance, but it’s felt in the hand. A solid brass body gives weight and steadiness, wood warms the grip, brushed metal stays discreet and sharp. Ink matters just as much: ballpoint for a quick line that dries immediately, roller for a smooth, more pronounced stroke, close to a fountain pen. And since everything is refillable, you replace the refill, not the pen. That’s what turns a desk object into a long-term companion.

Which one for which use

For signatures and quick notes, a well-made ballpoint never disappoints. For letters, notebooks, pages you reread, a roller or felt tip adds character to the line. And if you feel like writing with a fountain pen, you'll find it among the fountain pens and inks.
