Pen Tip (Nib) Design & Engravings

The signature charm of the Pilot Kakuno lies in its stainless steel nib engravings, which double as functional visual indicators for proper writing posture:

• The Kakuno "Smiley Face" Marker : Engraved right on top of the nib. When holding the pen, as long as the smiling face is looking directly up at you, the nib is aligned at the optimal writing angle.

• Variations by Series:

  • Soft Color Series (SP, SL, SV, SY): Features a playful winking smiley face ($v\underline{\circ}$).

  • Standard Series (Grey Barrel): Features a classic smiley face ($\circ\underline{\circ}$).

  • Clear Series (NC): Features a smiley face sticking its tongue out ($\circ\underline{\omega}$).

• Nib Size Availability:

  • F (Fine): Excellent all-around size for daily note-taking and journaling.

  • M (Medium): Broader, smoother line flow that showcases ink shading beautifully.
