TWSBI Diamond 580 Piston Filler Fountain Pen, Clear, 1.1 Stub Italic
Available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad or 1.1mm Stub.
TWSBI Diamond 580 is a classic fountain pen with a piston ink-filling system. By fusing the traditional mechanisms of the fountain pen with modern industrial design, TWSBI has created an eye-catching fountain pen that is simultaneously appreciative of the past and relevant to the present. Diamond 580 comes with a benchmark ink-filling mechanism and has all detachable parts. This allows you to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. The pen cap is able to post onto the back of the pen. Easy to fill - simply unscrew the end cap, dip the nib into ink, pull back the end cap, and you're ready to write! Ink is not included - use with bottled ink only.
A quick no brainer guide to choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world:
If you write small, go with EF
For the normal writer, F is the most popular
If you tend to lean on a bigger font, M will be perfect
B is for statements! Sign a check in B, write a header in B, do some coloring/shading in B
Stub nibs are italic in writing style (have a special card or invitation to write?)
