Monteverde Ritma Fountain Pen - Espresso (Special Edition)
The Monteverde Ritma™ collection is inspired by the minimalist movement of the 1960’s and 70’s, where clean lines, straightforward designs and beautiful colors within work were the most prominent. Machined to perfection using a mixture of steel and aluminum, the Ritma™ boasts a streamlined design from magnetic cap top to back post, perfect for those who prefer a well balanced and heavyweight pen.
Espresso is the 2024 Monteverde Ritma Pen of the Year! It will only be produced in the year 2024.
Each aluminum barrel is anodized in a metallic color and treated with a matte finish, resulting in a muted pop of vibrant colors that are soft to the touch and beautifully accentuated with polished gunmetal accents. The clip is designed to match the straight lines of the body style with an extra flair, the center cut in an elongated oval shape for ease of use.
An exciting feature of this minimalist pen is the magnetic cap and posting, so secure and perfectly designed to the pen it creates a seal. No need to twist off, gently pull and enjoy the striking pop-action sound of the seal opening, then post to the back to experience the secure magnetic seal there as well.
This beautiful espresso brown fountain pen comes with a standard international converter and an ink cartridge. It is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 black steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1mm stub or the new JoWo Omniflex flexible steel nib for variation in line width. With six nib options, you are sure to find a selection to fit your handwriting style.
Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.

Customer Reviews
Very satisfied with this purchase
To be fair, I was apprehensive about the magnetic cap, and I almost did not buy it, but I’m so glad I did. Unposted is heavenly to write with. It feels perfect in your hand a little heavier, but very well balanced in the magnetic cap fits very snuggly and it’s kind of a pleasant Little pop as you pull and then replace the cap ink flow is perfect. Definitely worth the buy. Unless you have issues with a little heavier pen that’s the only thing that I think could ever stop someone from really enjoying this pen.
Love the weight of this pen and the color. I bought it to practice writing with the Omni flex nib. I was expecting more flex. It is a bit stiff but, hey isn’t experimenting what this hobby is all about!
I hesitated for a long time as I have never found Ritma to be really intriguing. I am glad I got it in the end. Yes, it feels really heavy in the hand but also really solid. The Omniflex nib is nice and smooth, although I do not get much use of the flex as I have very light hands while writing, the price being the same is a great deal to get it and have some fun occasionally. Magnetic cap is super fun, as well.
My new favorite. Only reason for the four stars is the cap fit is a little loose. Still makes a pop but the tolerance is a little loose than what I was expecting after seeing some reviews. Besides that the nib is great, love the feel and heft, and the color is great.
