01 / DRAFTSMAN INSTRUMENT · BATCH N° 04
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 / PRINCIPLE
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.
Zero threads or step-downs between barrel and grip.
± 0.005 MMHermetic magnetic air-lock prevents ink drying for 90 days.
0.02 BARInternal brass core attenuates high-frequency vibration.
