MONOGRAPH. ORDER N° 01

01 / DRAFTSMAN INSTRUMENT · BATCH N° 04

Machined from solid titanium, balanced for seven hours of unbroken thought.

A continuous piston fountain instrument engineered without threads, step-downs or decorative trims. Ground by hand in Kyoto from a single billet of aerospace-grade alloy.

02 NIB 14K SOLID GOLD / IRIDIUM
03 FEED JAPANESE EBONITE
04 MASS 28.4 GRAMS POSTED

02 / PRINCIPLE

The case against decoration.

Most writing instruments interrupt the hand with steps, knurling, screw threads and branding bands. Monograph eliminates every transition.

The grip tapers continuously at 1.8 degrees into the nib collar, placing the mass directly over the distal phalanx for zero rotational fatigue.

TOL-01 Continuous profile

Zero threads or step-downs between barrel and grip.

± 0.005 MM
TOL-02 Friction cap seal

Hermetic magnetic air-lock prevents ink drying for 90 days.

0.02 BAR
TOL-03 Acoustic dampening

Internal brass core attenuates high-frequency vibration.
