The Neo Slim design

The Neo Slim is exactly what its name promises: a slim, elegant fountain pen with a narrow 9mm body that slips into a shirt pocket, a planner loop or the smallest pen case. Despite its slender profile, it has a solid metal body and a reassuring weight, so it feels like a quality instrument rather than a lightweight everyday pen. Its clean, minimalist lines make it a natural choice for people who prefer understated design.

The Aluminium Olive Green finish

Aluminium Olive Green has a brushed, anodised finish in a muted, earthy olive. The brushed texture gives the pen a soft, matte feel and a modern, almost industrial character.

The olive body is paired with black trim, which keeps the look calm and contemporary. It is a colour that suits outdoor lovers, designers and anyone who prefers natural tones.

The nib

The Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen has a polished stainless steel nib, smooth and dependable, with a gentle amount of give. We offer the Aluminium Olive Green Neo Slim in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad.

Size and weight

The Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen is about 140mm long capped and 156mm with the cap posted, 9mm across and about 20g. The snap cap of the Aluminium Olive Green Neo Slim clicks on securely and posts firmly on the end, which gives a comfortable full-size writing length.

Who it is for

The Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen is ideal for anyone who wants a fountain pen they can carry every day: students, doctors, lawyers, journalists and travellers. The slim Aluminium Olive Green profile also suits writers with smaller hands, and the Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen is an excellent first fountain pen for someone moving up from ballpoints.

Choosing the right nib

Choosing a nib size comes down to your handwriting. Writers with compact handwriting usually prefer Extra Fine or Fine, which keep letters crisp and stop loops from filling in. Medium is the most popular all-rounder and the best way to enjoy the colour of your ink. Broad nibs give a generous, wet line that looks wonderful in signatures and greeting cards. European nibs such as Faber-Castell's tend to run slightly wider than Japanese nibs of the same letter, so if you are used to Japanese pens, consider going one size finer.

Cartridges, converters and bottled ink

The pen uses the common international cartridge and converter system. Cartridges are the simplest option, ideal at the office or on the move. With a Faber-Castell standard converter (sold separately) you can fill from any bottle of fountain pen ink, which gives you access to a whole world of colours, from classic blues and blacks to browns, greens and shimmering specials.

Ink recommendations

The Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen works with any good fountain pen ink. Here are a few colours we especially like with the Aluminium Olive Green finish, all available at Makoba:

• Graf von Faber-Castell Olive Green: an olive green that matches the barrel
• Graf von Faber-Castell Moss Green: a darker natural green
• Graf von Faber-Castell Hazelnut Brown: a soft brown for warm, natural tones
• Graf von Faber-Castell Carbon Black: a strong, classic black

You can also browse our full range of fountain pen ink bottles and ink cartridges to find your perfect colour.

Caring for your fountain pen

Looking after your fountain pen is simple. Keep the cap on when the pen is resting, and store it nib up in a pen case or pen stand. Rinse the nib and feed with plain, lukewarm water when you switch inks, about once a month. Stick to proper fountain pen inks, avoid dropping the pen on its nib, and never use harsh chemicals. Treated this way, a good steel nib will give you thousands of pages of smooth writing.

The Neo Slim family

Alongside this Aluminium Olive Green pen, the Neo Slim family includes fountain pens, ballpoints and rollerballs in finishes from polished and matte stainless steel to black lacquer, brushed aluminium and limited-edition colours. All of them share the same slender profile and snap cap, so the Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen fits neatly into a matching set. A Neo Slim ballpoint and fountain pen in the same finish make a practical pair: the ballpoint for quick forms and signatures, and the Faber-Castell Neo Slim Aluminium Olive Green fountain pen for notes, letters and journalling.

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.
