These fountain pens feature a custom nib grind by nibmeister Mark Bacas, in options Fine Cursive Smooth Italic or Medium Cursive Smooth Italic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark describes his Cursive Smooth Italic (CSI) as a smoother version of a Cursive Italic grind. The CSI nib grind still provides nice line variation while providing a smoother writing experience in a larger variety of writing positions\/angles. An italic nib writes more broadly on the downstrokes, and narrow on the sidestrokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Visconti Homo Sapiens is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, with a trim made of solid bronze. Visconti lava is virtually unbreakable, comfortable and warm to the touch - and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from your hand. The basaltic lava is mixed with resin to create this pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen caps using the Visconti 'Hook Safe Lock', a revolutionary capping system so you can cap a pen without worrying about the cap accidentally unscrewing in your pocket and leaking. The fountain pen's vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion, and it features an oversized 18k rose gold nib to match the trim color (note: our images may still show the old 23kt palladium nib).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVisconti has recently updated their branding and font used on their clips. During this transition, you may receive a pen with a slightly different font than what is shown here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these nibs have been modified, please contact us directly for any warranty issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Visconti","offers":[{"title":"Fine CSI","offer_id":31476609187883,"sku":"VI-KP15-07-FP-FCSI","price":960.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium CSI","offer_id":16394294951979,"sku":"VI-KP15-07-FP-MCSI","price":960.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2603\/2528\/files\/Visconti-HomoSapiens-BronzeAge-Rose-OW-2.jpg?v=1758721610","url":"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.mom\/products\/visconti-homo-sapiens-fountain-pen-bronze-age-custom-18k-nib-grind","provider":"The Goulet Pen Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
