Designphil (headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo, president: Ichiro Aida) is a design company that inspires greater enjoyment of daily life and suggests new ways to live through design. On Friday, January 22, 2021, our product brand Midori™ will release the MD Fountain Pen (suggested retail price 2,750 yen including tax), a fountain pen that suits all writing styles, and MD Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges (2 colors: black/blue-black, suggested retail price 495 yen including tax) as part of the MD PAPER PRODUCTS™ series, a stationery series with a simple design and innovative paper that provides the maximum comfort when writing.

The MD Fountain Pen is well-suited for MD PAPER™ and enables users to take pleasure in the act of writing. The grip can be held lightly, as if using a pencil, and allows even those who are new to fountain pens to write smoothly with ease and without finger slippage. In addition, the curved nib enables users to enjoy smooth, comfortable writing with minimal smudging at any angle.

Product Features
Light body and easy-to-hold grip
This fountain pen feels as light as a pencil and is easy to hold. The grip on the neck prevents fingers from slipping. The medium thickness of the nib strikes a good balance between fineness and strength, suitable for use in scenarios ranging from sketching ideas to writing diaries, letters and message cards. An ink cartridge is also included with the pen, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box.

Pen nib designed for smooth writing
The distinctive nib is curved like a bird’s beak and allows smooth writing with minimal smudging at any angle. This enables users to enjoy any type of writing in comfort.

Main body design befitting of MD PAPER PRODUCTS
The design features a stylish stainless steel cap combined with a cream-colored body inspired by MD PAPER. The MD PAPER logo engraved on the nib adds a subtle accent. MD Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges will also be sold separately to allow the pen to be used over the long term. Two colors of cartridges are available, the standard black and a deep blue-black.
