Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Fountain Pen – Architect Nib (John Mottishaw)

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Fountain Pen is already a landmark in modern pen-making, crafted from Sicilian basaltic lava and resin for a tactile, resilient body. What sets this edition apart is the custom Architect grind performed by master nib-smith John Mottishaw—yielding crisp vertical strokes and broad horizontal lines for dramatic expression and signature flair.

The pen’s body features bronze-tone hardware and Visconti’s distinctive “Hook-Safe Lock” cap system. The lava-resin compound feels velvety yet robust, and the filling system is a high-vacuum power filler that supports large ink capacity with effortless operation.

Inside, the Architect-grind 18k gold nib (Visconti stock size) has been custom-ground to Architect-style proportions—ideal for fine vertical work (such as Asian scripts or signature lines) while delivering bold horizontal strokes with control. The ebonite feed supports optimal ink flow under this specialized cut.

For those seeking high performance and uncommon character, this version of the Homo Sapiens Bronze Age balances Visconti’s robust build quality with a bespoke nib finish tailored by one of the world’s top nib-artists.

Key Features:

  • Body material: Sicilian basaltic lava & resin — strong, tactile, and unique.

  • Bronze-tone trim, Visconti “Hook-Safe Lock” cap system.

  • Custom Architect grind by John Mottishaw on 18 k gold nib for vertical & horizontal line variation.

  • Ebonite feed for enhanced ink flow and smooth writing.

  • High-vacuum power-filling mechanism provides large capacity and reliable performance.

  • Balanced design: premium materials, robust build, and customization suited for collectors or serious writers.
