Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Crystal
Available On Backorder
The Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Crystal is one of the most memorable pens yet produced by this innovative and iconoclastic Italian manufacturer. Dark ruthenium trim, a smoked resin ink section, and basaltic lava from Mt. Etna combine to give this fountain pen its unmistakable appearance. Our free nib tuning with purchase ensures writing performance equal to this pen’s memorable design. Visconti 18k nibs also serve as excellent starting points for many of our most popular nib customizations.
Description
Featuring dark ruthenium trim, including specially electroplated bronze, the Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Crystal is a study in stealthy shades of black and dark grey. Thanks to the specially cured balsatic lava holding this pen is a unique and pleasurable tactile experience. The pen is provided with your choice of 18k solid gold nib, also produced in-house at the Visconti workshop in Florence.
The Extra Fine and Fine nibs are highly suitable for everyday writing and note-taking. The Medium nib offers an even smoother writing experience and can also serve as the basis for some of our nib customizations.
To get the best from our nib customizations, however, it is really the Broad and stock Stub nibs that provide the best starting points for our nib specialists. The Broad nib is an excellent choice for regrind customizations such as Cursive Italic and Left Oblique.
The Visconti stock Stub nib, with its 1.3 mm tipping size, provides an even better starting point for these customizations, and also is one of the best choices available for our noted Architects Point modification. Whatever your writing needs may be, our complimentary nib tuning and optional nib customizations can deliver the results you want to see on the page.
The Visconti flair for style and innovation is not limited to the basaltic lava body material. An innovative hook-latch system secures the cap to the barrel, while the power filler system provides for an ample capacity using the bottled fountain pen ink of your choice.
