Fountain pens
Handwriting got worse when we stopped caring what we wrote with. I’m trying to undo that, one bottle of ink at a time.
01 Why
A fountain pen asks you to slow down by about ten per cent, and in that ten per cent the sentences get better. Or at least they look better.
02 What I look for
A nib with a little give, a cap that posts without wobbling, and a body I can fill from a bottle instead of throwing away.
03 What I’ve learned
Ink is the real rabbit hole. You only need one pen, but there are always more inks.
