Writing implements as good as gold.

• Position: What's New? - Brief article

What does it feel like to write with a $395 fountain pen, or scribble out some figures with a $225 pencil? Pretty amazing, actually. The new Intuition pencil and pens from Faber-Castell, Cleveland, Ohio, provide the opportunity to experience that in its purest form. Polished to a high gloss, the deep block of the barrel and cap radiates an intensity that provides these writing implements with their unusual aura. This is accentuated by the gleaming platinum-plated ring at the end of the cap, discreetly engraved with the words "Hand-made in Germany". The barrel is elegantly shaped in a single piece that emphasizes its puristic lines and ensures a high degree of functionalism. The style is unmistakable--the trumpet shape, ribbed end cap, and spring-loaded clip all are familiar features to those who appreciate the fine art of writing by hand and the Graf von Faber-Castell brand name.
