About Nib & Ink

For the people who never stopped writing by hand.

Who we are

Nib & Ink is for the list-makers and journallers, the annotators and hand-letterers, the ones who can feel the difference between a fine nib and a medium and have a favourite shade of blue-black. The people who never stopped writing by hand.

We keep the range tight and honest: a small bench of fountain pens, the ink and refills to feed them, and the fineliners and gel pens that fill most of our notebooks. Then we do the part most shops skip - we tell you how each one actually writes, lay every ink and colour out as a swatch you can browse, and group sensible starter kits so your first fountain pen turns up ready to use.

What we sell and why

The shared catalogue is marker- and fineliner-heavy. There are only a handful of true fountain pens - all Parker - and we are honest about that. The depth of this shop comes from content and colour, not SKU count. We explain the nib, the ink and the paper pairing. We lay the colours out as swatches so you can browse them the way you actually shop.

Fineliners (Staedtler Triplus, Uni Pin, Artline, Paper Mate Flair, Stabilo), gel pens and everyday writers are the volume. They fill most orders. We choose them by how they write, not how they look in a gift box.

What we do not do

No gift wrap, no engraving, no upselling you a display box. We are an online writing shop; we keep prices down by not handling parcels, and we cannot personalise or wrap orders. No invented savings or fake compare prices. No business phone number - email is faster and better.

Just good writing things and straight advice. Fill the pen, find your line, write more.
