Pens
Three nibs that write three different ways. All three fill from the same bottles and clean with plain water.
Choosing a nib
Pick by the size of your handwriting and how much ink you want to see.
| Nib | Line | For |
|---|---|---|
| Ferrule EF | 0.32 mm | Small handwriting, margins, planners, thin paper |
| Ferrule F | 0.42 mm | Most people. Notes, letters, everyday writing |
| Ferrule M | 0.55 mm | Larger handwriting; shows an ink’s colour and shading |
| Burin Flex | 0.35 – 1.4 mm | A fine line that swells under pressure. Signatures, lettering |
| Reed Italic | 1.5 mm | Thick down-strokes, thin cross-strokes. Headings, cards |
Not sure? Write your name on the desk with each one. The nib you stop thinking about is the right one.

Looking after a fountain pen
- Fill it, write with it, cap it when you stop. A capped pen keeps its ink for weeks.
- Every few weeks, or when you change ink, draw cool water through the nib until it runs clear.
- Dry the nib with a soft cloth. Store the pen nib up.
- No hot water, no soap, no solvents. Water does everything.
