At Nibs Plus Ultra, our knowledge of fountain pens goes far beyond their technical specifications. As collectors and everyday users, we have added many of the models we offer to our own personal collections. This personal and ongoing experience allows us to compare them and appreciate them under real writing conditions.
We pay particular attention to their size, weight, balance and grip, as well as to the behaviour of the nib, ink flow and the sensations they provide on different papers. This hands-on experience allows us to share information that is not always available on manufacturers’ websites.
Everyone has their own individual way of writing. Hand size, grip, writing angle, pressure applied, preferred line width and even the paper being used can all significantly affect the writing experience.
Our role is to help you identify the fountain pen and nib that genuinely suit your habits, preferences and intended use. Our aim is not to direct you towards the most expensive model, but towards the one that will suit you best.
Every fountain pen featured on our website comes with a detailed description written by our team, together with our expert’s review. We take great care to convey as accurately as possible its qualities, distinctive features and the sensations it provides when writing.
This gives you concrete information to help you make your choice with greater confidence.
Whether you are looking to purchase your first fountain pen, deepen your knowledge or add to an established collection, you will receive the same level of attention and care. The many verified reviews from our customers reflect this commitment and the trust they place in us.
Our ambition is to introduce people to fountain pens and inspire them to appreciate them, but above all, to help you choose an instrument that feels right for you, suits your writing style and is made to accompany you for years to come.
Get in touch with us. We will take the time to consider your needs and offer you personalised advice.
