Diplomat Aero Fountain Pen - Antique Rose (Custom Nib Grind)
This pastel pink Diplomat Aero fountain pen features a Zeppelin-inspired anodized aluminum body with groove-like depressions on the barrel and cap. It has a satisfying soft sliding click cap that posts securely onto the barrel when writing. It features a smooth writing #6 JoWo stainless steel nib, matte chrome grip and trim, and fills via standard international cartridge/converter (both are included).
This pen features a custom nib grind by Gena Salorino of Custom Nib Studio, into a medium cursive italic. It’s slightly more crisp than your typical stub, for a more distinct line variation. But the corners of the tip are ground smooth so it feels nice on the page.
