Drehgriffel Nr. 1 with gel refill
Smooth writing with fine contours
Inspired by the fine Asian art of writing with its filigree typeface made up of detailed characters, the Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen now comes with a Japanese 0.5mm gel pen refill.
For easy and flowing handwriting
Gel ink has a higher viscosity than standard ballpoint pen ink. An advantage that ensures easy and flowing handwriting. Giving a line width of only 0.5mm, the Japanese gel pen refill creates particularly fine writing with a clear outline. Even with a fine stroke, the ink flows very evenly via the pen tip onto the paper. This is due to a ceramic ball bearing which dictates the perfect flow of ink in the tip. The interaction between the ceramic’s smooth surface and the precise positioning of the ball bearing ensures a constant flow of ink despite the fact that very little ink is released.
Shodō – The Way of Writing
Shodō: The moment when a thought flows through the hand and becomes visible on paper.
Japan is renowned for its refined writing culture. This is especially reflected in calligraphy, which emphasizes the intricate details of Japanese characters. To faithfully recreate the delicate brushstroke nuances traditionally achieved with a brush, Japan developed gel ink technology. The gel ink used is significantly smoother and less viscous than traditional ballpoint pen ink, allowing it to flow evenly across the pen tip onto the paper. The result is a soft writing experience with fine, elegant lines.
