In this issue: With the new S.T. Dupont Loves Paris Collection, the 151-year-old French atelier displays all the techniques it has mastered in an ode to the City of Light, Paris. Germany’s Pelikan invites U.S. customers to take a bite out of the apple-green Souverän M800 Green Demonstrator Special Edition fountain pen. Japan’s Sailor is known for its high-quality fountain pens and inks, but over 100 years of nib expertise is what makes Sailor pens such great writers. Artisan pen brand Tailored Pen Co. makes fountain pens that fit the hand like a well-tailored suit, and artisan maker Tim Cullen of Hooligan Georgia shows off his metal mastery. Online shop Lemur Ink allows John Phelan to spread his love of fountain pens and lemurs, tribute pens and rebooted brands prove that the legacy of the fountain pen’s Golden Age will never fade, and we conclude the saga of the Parker T-1. Plus: it’s primary season! See the nominees for the 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards.
