My concept for the pen involves the celebration of writing by hand: the power of a pen, the power of writing, the power of letterforms, the power of words.

As a calligraphy and penmanship instructor for many years now, my definition of "beautiful writing" has changed and become more focused on handwriting as three things: a soothing, meditative experience, a discipline that builds mental and physical conditioning, and — perhaps most importantly — a form of self-expression.

Writing something by hand — whether it's an important paper, a love letter, a signature, even a grocery list — is you leaving your unique mark on paper. This way, it isn't simply about what you write, but the way you write it — how you form your letters, the strokes your fingers make.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that newer batches of the Opus 88 Mini Pocket pen have caps which are postable. It may spin on the end of the barrel while you are writing. This is not a defect, rather a production adjustment made to accommodate posting. Older batches of the Opus 88 Mini Pocket Pen do not have postable caps. For your consideration before purchasing.
