Every internal element has been carefully reengineered not only for performance but also to contribute to the pen’s transparent design. Seals, fittings, and the spring of the bayonet closure are finished in a rich blue tone, offering a striking contrast to the mirror-polished, gold-plated metal components—each precision-engraved. Bronze rings on the exterior pay subtle tribute to the legacy of the original Homo Sapiens Lava Bronze model.

At the heart of the pen is a newly introduced skeletonized 14kt gold nib, inspired by the art of filigree. Its intricate, openwork structure exposes the blue feed beneath, offering both visual depth and a responsive, flexible writing experience that adapts to pressure and style. An updated bayonet system ensures that the nib remains partially visible even when the pen is closed.

Visconti rates this nib as a Medium, making it suitable for our regrind customizations such as Stub and Cursive Italic. And if Medium is too broad a tipping size for you, we can also offer regrinds to Fine, Extra Fine, and even Needlepoint.

Though it is 14k, we do not offer any modifications for added Flex with this nib – adding additional flex would be too risky given the unique filigree design.

What also distinguishes this release is the meticulous execution of each detail. Traditional threads have been replaced with precision micro-screws, resulting in a perfectly clean, transparent structure—even in areas typically hidden from view. Here, every component is treated as integral to the design, reinforcing Visconti’s reputation for innovation.
