Pens

This list is current as of August 2021.

The Everyday Carry

Pentel EnerGel Alloy Gel Pen

Writes beautifully in my Cortex Subtle journal and feels entirely premium.

0.7mm black ink, blue body

When A Finer Point is Required

Uni Jetstream Standard Ballpoint Pen

Use case: writing in my Field Notes journals on the go.

0.5mm blue ink, white body

For Humblebragging The Sunday Crossword

Pilot FriXion Ball Clicker US Gel Pen

This is my go-to for solving the NYTimes Crossword in ink. I still need the ability to erase but prefer the contrast of pen to lead on the tinted pages of the Sunday Magazine. Plus, when I’m done, it looks like I solved the puzzle in one go in ink.

0.7mm blue ink, blue body
