Unique Properties

The brand follows the basic rituals of writing: filling the pen with ink, scribbling to test it before writing, etc. Using a “for everybody” design, also unites the simplicity of the form with the complexity of customization. The symbol mark shows a handwritten line from the tip of a fountain pen (as a scribble) with an ”A” in the center which is the initial letter of the brand name. The graphic design expresses colorful ink drops and handwritten lines written by the pen.
