About Scribo

Scribo was founded in Bologna in 2017 by a team of master pen makers with decades of experience, and it has quickly become one of the most respected names in Italian fine writing, admired above all for its nibs. Every Scribo pen is made in Italy, and the brand is known for small, carefully designed limited editions that celebrate Italian culture, art and craftsmanship. The Feel is Scribo's flagship model: a generous, comfortable pen with a reliable piston filler and a large gold nib.

The Dandy editions

The Dandy editions celebrate the spirit of the Italian dandy: refined, confident and devoted to beautiful details. The original Dandy edition was followed by two new colours, Notturno and Velvet, each produced in a numbered edition of only 88 pieces worldwide and finished with rose gold-plated trim. Both carry the same grana di riso guilloché, and both are offered with Scribo's 18-carat gold nib or its 14-carat gold flex nib.

The Notturno colour

Notturno means nocturnal in Italian, and this edition is inspired by the quiet mystery of the night. Its resin is a deep midnight blue that appears almost black in shadow and reveals rich, luminous blue tones in the light. The grana di riso guilloché makes the surface shimmer softly, like moonlight on dark water, and rose gold-plated trim adds a warm glow.

It is a pen of calm, elegant depth, suitable for evening writing, letters and journals, and as at home in a boardroom as at a writing desk.

The art of guilloché

Guilloché is a decorative technique in which fine, repeating patterns are cut into a surface line by line with a mechanical engine, guided by an artisan's hand. It has been used for centuries on watch cases, snuff boxes and jewellery, and only a handful of workshops still practise it in the traditional way. For the Dandy editions, Scribo worked with the Italian atelier Renzetti1909 to engrave the barrel with a pattern called grana di riso, or grain of rice: tiny, wave-like strokes that catch the light like the texture of woven fabric. The pattern is inspired by vintage watch cases, and it gives the pen a tactile surface that is a pleasure to hold.

The 18K nib

This version of the Dandy Notturno carries Scribo's 18-carat gold nib, one of the most praised nibs in modern pen-making. It is smooth and gently springy, fed by an ebonite feed for a steady, generous flow, and the Scribo Feel Dandy Notturno 18K fountain pen offers an exceptionally wide choice of grades: Extra Extra Fine, Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Double Broad, Triple Broad and a 1.4mm Stub.

The finest grades of the 18K Dandy Notturno suit small handwriting and scripts with intricate strokes; Medium is the most versatile; the broad grades and the Stub lay down a wet, expressive line that shows off the colour and shading of your ink. The Extra Extra Fine Dandy Notturno is priced a little higher, as it is ground specially.

Piston filling

The Feel fills with a piston mechanism. To fill it, turn the knob at the end of the barrel anticlockwise to lower the piston, dip the nib fully into a bottle of ink, and turn the knob back clockwise to draw ink into the barrel. It holds about 1.42ml of ink, much more than a standard cartridge, so you can write for days between fills. To clean the pen, simply fill and empty it with lukewarm water a few times until the water runs clear.

Size and feel

The Scribo Feel Dandy Notturno 18K fountain pen is a generous pen, about 148mm long capped with a maximum diameter of 17mm, and it weighs about 36g. The screw cap is designed to be set aside while you write rather than posted, which keeps the 18K Dandy Notturno perfectly balanced in the hand.

Caring for your Scribo

Keep your Scribo capped when you are not writing, and store it in its box or a pen case so the guilloché surface stays free of scratches. Wipe the barrel with a soft, dry cloth, and flush the pen with lukewarm water whenever you change inks or plan to leave it unused for a while. Use only good fountain pen ink, never drawing or Indian ink, and the piston and gold nib will give you many years of beautiful writing.

Styling the Dandy Notturno

Notturno suits navy and charcoal suits, white shirts and dark leather, and it looks wonderful with rose-gold watches and cufflinks. It is a refined gift for a writer, a night owl or anyone who loves the colour blue.

A gift worth giving

Looking for a gift? A fine pen is one of the most personal presents you can give: something used every day, kept for years and remembered every time it is picked up. It is ideal for graduations, promotions, birthdays, weddings, retirements and corporate gifting. It arrives in the brand's original packaging, ready to present.

Pair it with good paper

Good paper makes a noticeable difference. On smooth, quality paper, lines stay sharp, colours look richer and the pen glides more easily. If you write a lot, it is worth choosing a notebook with paper that is kind to ink.
