Standing out, fitting in, and the pursuit of balance
The core of my currently inked remains consistent for a third week. I believe I’ve stumbled onto to two axes of balance. One is a balanced color palette — and one that is afield from my normal color combinations. The other is the balance of pen sizes and cap styles. Let’s unpack that.
A stationery yin to work’s yang
This week’s currently inked rolls onward with last week’s large pens. All six remain inked. Plus one: the Visconti Homo Sapiens Silver Age.
Pen roll and pen case storage etiquette
I keep returning to whether there is a correct way to keep pens in a case. Is there a “right” way to put pens inside a case? How would we go about gauging the cost-benefit of different methods? Would the difference be appreciable enough to even matter? Is there an etiquette to pen cases?
