Green, veined and gold-trimmed
Visconti's Dark editions blend coloured resins into soft, irregular veining. The Homo Sapiens Dark Emerald fountain pen is a rich emerald with black veins, set off by yellow-gold plated trim and the arched bridge clip.
Double reservoir power filler
The Homo Sapiens Dark Emerald fountain pen fills with Visconti's vacuum power filler: unscrew the knob, pull the plunger, dip the nib and press down. The double reservoir keeps a small reserve of ink, and the Homo Sapiens Dark Emerald fountain pen holds about 3.6ml in total, enough for many days of writing.
An 18K gold nib
A Visconti 18K gold nib gives the Homo Sapiens Dark Emerald fountain pen a smooth, responsive line. We offer it in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and a 1.3mm stub.
