The cap closes by magnet and aligns itself, and a converter made for the pen lets you draw ink from any bottle. The maker says the lightweight metal body feels balanced in the hand. We read its English shop pages on November 5, 2026. If you are new to nib widths, our [fountain pen nib sizes explained](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/fountain-pen-nib-sizes-explained/) guide covers them. ## What are the specs? **The aluminium INK is 152 mm long and weighs about 70 g, per the maker.** | Spec | Detail (maker) | |---|---| | Length | 152 mm | | Weight | about 70 g (aluminium) | | Nib widths | Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad (Type 076) | | Nib materials | Silver steel, black steel, titanium, 14k gold | | Filling | Included converter; standard international cartridges and converters fit | | Closure | Magnetic, self-aligning cap | | Body | High-grade aluminium (a titanium INK is a separate product) | The maker does not publish the capped-versus-posted length, grip diameter or cap weight, so our drawing shows thickness and the cap seam by eye. It lists the pen's colors in the variant list: Aurora Green, Night Sky and Warp Black. ## Which nib should you pick? **It depends on how much give you want, and what you want to spend.** The maker's FAQ says steel is relatively firm and keeps a consistent line width whatever the pressure, titanium has more flexibility and spring so the line can vary slightly with pressure, and gold feels softer and smoother. It suggests choosing a width by the size of your handwriting. ![Bar chart of the Stilform INK aluminium pen price by nib: silver steel 120 euros, black steel 135, titanium 200, 14k gold 295](https://stationerytimes.com/images/stilform-ink-fountain-pen-aluminium-nib-prices.svg?v=6c22f640) *Pen price by nib material in euros, tax included, on the maker's shop on November 5, 2026.
