Titanium is a material with a very specific reputation. It belongs to the world of rugged efficiency, survival gear, and precision engineering, usually chosen for objects that need to endure pressure, impact, and time with very little fuss. Brush pens come from an almost opposite design language, one shaped by softness, gesture, and line variation, where the slightest change in pressure can transform a word or sketch into something more personal. In most cases, these two worlds stay far apart, one built around resilience, the other around responsiveness.
STILL brings them together with surprising clarity. The pen pairs a machined Grade 5 titanium body with a flexible nylon brush tip that shifts from fine hairlines to bold strokes depending on how it meets the page. That contrast gives STILL its identity. It feels grounded and permanent in the hand, yet expressive in motion, creating a writing instrument that carries the discipline of industrial design into the more fluid world of journaling, sketching, and everyday handwriting.

Unlike traditional fountain pen nibs that deliver a consistent line, STILL’s nylon brush tip responds directly to pressure. A light touch produces a 0.3mm hairline suitable for small details or delicate script. Medium pressure yields roughly 1.2mm, the kind of natural width most people instinctively use for everyday writing. Firm pressure opens the tip to 3mm, creating bold strokes for emphasis, headers, or expressive flourishes. Everything in between happens without conscious effort, turning line variation into a natural outcome of the writing process rather than a technical skill. If you’ve used an Apple Pencil on an iPad, you probably know exactly how much more expressive a brush pen is compared to a fineliner or a fountain pen.
That responsiveness makes STILL approachable in a way traditional brush pens often are not. Calligraphy brushes demand control, practice, and an understanding of stroke order to produce convincing results. STILL removes most of that learning curve. The nylon material is elastic enough to flex predictably but structured enough to return to shape immediately. It follows the movement of your hand rather than fighting it, which means you can pick it up and start writing without needing to adjust your grip, angle, or technique. The result is a pen that feels easy to use while delivering visual results typically reserved for more specialized instruments.
The titanium body is not decorative. Grade 5 titanium, also called Ti-6Al-4V, is a high-strength alloy used in aerospace, medical implants, and high-performance hardware. It offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and a surface hardness that resists scratching and wear over years of handling. At 30 grams, STILL sits in a comfortable middle ground between lightweight portability and the kind of heft that gives feedback in the hand. The balance point falls naturally near the grip section, which prevents fatigue during longer writing sessions and keeps the pen stable during more deliberate strokes.
Every component is CNC-machined from solid material, which eliminates the weak points that come from glued assemblies or plastic internals. The barrel threads are cut with micron-level precision, producing a smooth, wobble-free connection between the cap and body. That precision is not just tactile theater. It ensures that the cap seals tightly around the nib, preventing air from drying out the brush tip between uses. The barrel surface is left smooth rather than aggressively textured, allowing the hand to find its own natural grip position without being forced into a predetermined hold.
The cap does more than protect the nib. Its flat top allows the pen to stand upright on a desk, turning it into a visible, accessible object rather than something that rolls into corners or gets buried in a drawer. The teardrop cross-section solves another common desk annoyance by preventing the pen from rolling when placed horizontally. A small groove machined into the side of the cap, measuring roughly 1cm by 2mm, acts as an integrated pen rest. You can set the barrel into that groove mid-writing, suspending the nib above the surface so ink does not transfer to the table. The cap also features precision threading and an internal gasket that creates an airtight seal, keeping the brush tip moist and ready even after weeks of non-use.
The pen accepts both ink cartridges and a refillable converter, giving it flexibility across different use cases. Cartridges are faster and cleaner for travel or environments where refilling from a bottle is impractical. The converter opens access to bottled fountain pen inks, which vastly expands color options and allows for more control over ink properties like flow, saturation, and drying time. A small transparent window in the barrel displays the current ink level, removing the guesswork about when a refill is needed. That window aligns perfectly with the groove in the cap when the pen is closed, creating a visual detail that signals the care taken with tolerances and alignment throughout the design.
The anti-roll geometry and smooth barrel work together to create a pen that adapts to multiple grip styles. You can hold it like a conventional fountain pen with a tripod grip near the section, or angle it more steeply like a traditional brush, resting the barrel closer to the web between thumb and forefinger. Both positions feel natural because the cylindrical form and 10.2mm diameter provide enough surface area to stabilize without crowding the hand. The absence of aggressive knurling or molded grip zones means the pen does not dictate how it should be held, which becomes important during longer sessions where hand position tends to shift.
STILL is designed for people who write because they want to, not because they have to. It suits journaling, daily note-taking, sketching, and any situation where the act of putting pen to paper carries some intention beyond pure information capture. The brush tip makes it a strong choice for hand lettering, planner decoration, or adding visual variety to written work without requiring calligraphy skills. It works equally well for designers, students, thinkers, and anyone building a habit around analog productivity. The titanium construction and sealed cap make it practical enough for daily pocket carry, while the expressive nib keeps it interesting enough to reach for regularly.
STILL is available in six anodized finishes: Quiet Titanium, Midnight Black, Ink Blue, Horizon Blue, Moss Green, and Mist Purple. Optional leather sleeves in British Tan or Black, made from full-grain leather with soft lining, provide additional protection and a more refined carry profile.
