Faber-Castell Ambition Ball Pen - Soft Teal CT
A fresh colour for a timeless design. The Faber-Castell Ambition Ballpoint Pen in Soft Teal pairs a smooth resin barrel in a soft, fresh teal with polished chrome-plated metal at the cap and tip. Slim, light and beautifully balanced, the Soft Teal Ambition is a pen made for daily writing.
Faber-Castell has been making writing tools in Germany since 1761, and the Ambition range, here in Soft Teal, is its modern classic. The Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint keeps the line's signature straight silhouette and smooth twist action, and adds a finish all of its own. Soft Teal is for writers who want the classic Ambition with a cheerful, contemporary twist.

The Ambition design
The Ambition is one of Faber-Castell's best-loved designs: a long, slender, perfectly straight barrel finished at both ends with polished, chrome-plated metal. There is nothing unnecessary about it. The proportions are elegant, the lines are clean, and the pen sits lightly but securely between the fingers. It is the kind of design that never goes out of fashion, which is why it has become a favourite in offices, universities and gift boxes around the world.
The Soft Teal finish
Soft Teal sits somewhere between blue and green: calm, fresh and modern. It brings a touch of colour to a classic, professional shape, so the pen feels personal without being loud.
The teal resin is paired with polished chrome on the cap, clip and tip, which keeps the overall look crisp and bright. It is a colour that suits both men and women, and it is easy to spot in a bag or on a crowded desk.
Twist mechanism
The Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint works with a smooth twist of the cap section. Turn it one way and the refill extends; turn it back and the tip retracts safely inside the Soft Teal barrel. The spring-loaded clip holds the Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint securely in a pocket or diary.
Slim and comfortable
The Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint is about 134mm long and 11mm across and weighs around 30g. The Soft Teal Ambition is slim enough to slip into a planner loop or a jacket pocket, yet it has enough weight to feel steady and controlled on the page.
A broad, bold line
Out of the box, the Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint writes with a Faber-Castell large-capacity refill in black, with a broad line width. The broad tip of the Soft Teal Ambition glides with very little pressure and gives a confident, easy-to-read line, ideal for signatures and quick notes.
Refills
When the refill of the Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint runs out, simply replace it with a Faber-Castell large-capacity ballpoint refill. We stock them in black and blue, in medium and broad line widths, so you can choose the colour and line you prefer for the Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint.

Caring for your ballpoint
Ballpoints are the most carefree pens to own. There is no ink to spill and nothing to dry out, so you can leave this pen in a drawer for months and it will still write instantly. Change the refill when the line starts to fade, store the pen in a case to protect its finish, and give it a gentle polish with a dry cloth. With this little attention, it will stay a favourite for years.
The Ambition family
Like this Soft Teal pen, Ambition is a broad family of fountain pens, ballpoints, rollerballs and pencils, in finishes ranging from precious resin and wood to optical-art patterns and special editions with PVD coatings. Every Ambition shares the same straight barrel and polished cap, so the Soft Teal ballpoint fits naturally into a larger collection. Many writers own more than one Ambition: a classic black resin for formal occasions, and a finish like Soft Teal for everyday notes. If you are building a set, the matching Ambition fountain pen makes an excellent companion to the Faber-Castell Ambition Soft Teal ballpoint.
Why teal works
Teal has a calming quality, and it is one of the few colours that looks equally good with navy, grey, white and earth tones. On a slim pen it adds personality without becoming a novelty, which is why it appeals to teachers, designers, healthcare professionals and students who like a touch of colour in their kit. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone whose favourite colour sits between blue and green, or for anyone who is tired of plain black pens. Pair it with a teal or turquoise notebook for a coordinated look, or let it stand out against a plain white planner.
A gift worth giving
This pen makes a thoughtful gift for students, professionals and anyone who still enjoys writing by hand. Unlike most gifts, a good pen is used every day and often kept for decades. It is a popular choice for birthdays, Diwali, anniversaries, new jobs and corporate occasions, and it comes in the original brand packaging.
Pair it with good paper
Paper matters as much as the pen. A smooth, well-sized paper lets your pen glide, keeps your writing crisp and shows off the colour of your ink. Explore our range of notebooks, journals and pads to complete your writing set.
