Jetstreams, Sarasas, and Mildliners are championed by stationery enthusiasts everywhere,
but what about the amazing pens that don’t get as much attention?
We thought it was time to shine the spotlight on nine pens you’ve been sleeping on.
Ballpoint Pen
You may not have heard of the Zebra bLen, but it’s an engineering triumph.
Every piece of this ballpoint pen has been carefully designed
to remove all the rattles and vibrations that make writing a frustrating experience.
Plus, the bLen is just plain good to look at!
Brush Pen
Kuretake is well known for their tip brush pens,
but the Fudegokochi doesn’t get enough love.
Excellent for beginners,
it uses a firm felt tip that creates expressive line variation while staying easy to control.
The brush pen comes in several colors split across the three tip sizes:
regular, fine, and extra fine.
Fountain Pen
If you’re a fan of the Metropolitan, then the Pilot Prera is sure to be a hit.
It uses the same high-quality nib for a smooth writing experience.
There are two styles to match your aesthetic:
clear with transparent colored accents,
or a variety of opaque body colors.
Gel Pen
The Ohto Rays Flash Dry might look like any other pen,
but it has one amazing feature you absolutely need.
Like its name implies, it uses ink that dries almost instantly,
so you won’t have to worry about smeared writing.
The barrel comes in your choice of vibrant or neutral colors
and is topped with a classy metal section.
Highlighter
Move aside Mildliners:
the pastel Epoch Kobaru Sweet Tapir is a pastel highlighter with scented ink!
There are three delicious-smelling pairings:
sweet potato and cookie,
peach and mint,
and melon soda and vanilla.
You can add gentle accents to notes without straining your eyes.
Marker
We just had to mention the cute Teranishi Rushon Petite Pen.
It comes in thirty six colors that let you color-code notes with ease.
The extra-fine, 0.3 mm tip is great for adding details to artwork too.
You can throw a handful of these slim pens into your pen case
so you’ll always have them with you.
Multi Pen
Did you know there are fully customizable multi pens?
The Pentel i+ lets you add the mechanical pencil, ballpoint,
and gel components you want to make your perfect pen.
It comes in a variety of body colors,
including these limited edition designs that feature floral patterns and pastel buttons.
If you prefer a pre-filled option, the Zebra Surari 3C is a great multi pen.
The low-viscosity emulsion ink is a type of smooth ballpoint ink
with more saturation.
Rollerball Pen
Originally created to address envelopes,
the Ohto Fude Ball Rollerball Pen is an extra bold writer.
The 1.5 mm tip is ink and reliable, and expressive;
combining the best features of a rollerball and a brush pen.
The pigment ink is fade- and water- resistant, so you can be sure your notes will last.
