A design classic, reimagined
Since its launch, Faber-Castell's Ambition has been admired for its clean, minimalist shape. For its 20th anniversary, the Italic edition adds a twisted surface texture to the resin barrel, inspired by the slant of italic writing.
Obsidian Black
The most dramatic version of the edition. Matte black metal on the cap, section and clip meets the matte resin barrel, and even the nib is coated in black. The result is a seamless, stealthy fountain pen that looks striking on any desk.
How it writes
The stainless steel nib comes in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad. The pen takes cartridges, with one included, and a converter can be added for bottled ink.
