MD Fountain Pen

Fountain pen designed for beginners and MD Paper. Bird's beak nib absorbs pressure, writes from any angle—lightweight like a pencil, forgiving like a ballpoint.

Why This Exists

Most fountain pens intimidate newcomers with rigid nib requirements and specific grip angles. Midori designed the MD Fountain Pen to remove those barriers: the curved "bird's beak" nib accommodates pressure (for those transitioning from ballpoints), writes smoothly from any angle, and keeps up with fast writing without skipping. This is the fountain pen that doesn't punish you for not being a fountain pen expert.

The cream-coloured plastic barrel matches MD Paper aesthetics, the textured grip prevents slipping, and the transparent section lets you see ink colour and flow. At 15g, this feels as light as a pencil in hand—no fatigue during extended writing sessions. The medium steel nib (made in Slovenia) provides the "happy medium" line width: neither too fine nor too bold, suitable for everyday writing and sketching.

What Makes It Good

• Bird's beak nib — curved design absorbs pressure and writes smoothly from any angle
• Pencil-light weight — 15g body reduces hand fatigue during long sessions
• Medium steel nib — balanced line width for writing and drawing
• Textured grip section — slip-proof hold with transparent window showing ink
• International standard cartridges — accepts short cartridges and converters
• Optimised for MD Paper — designed specifically to perform on cream MD stock
• Metal cap with clip — secure snap closure protects nib

Who This Is For

People who want to try fountain pens without the intimidation factor, or ballpoint users curious about upgrading their writing experience. Perfect for MD Notebook users who want the pen designed for their paper, or anyone needing a forgiving fountain pen that doesn't require perfect technique. The curved nib particularly suits those who press hard or write quickly—the design absorbs pressure rather than fighting it. Includes one black cartridge; additional cartridges available separately.

Specifications

Note: This is the fountain pen for people who assume fountain pens aren't for them. The bird's beak nib is genuinely forgiving—it absorbs pressure, writes from weird angles, and doesn't punish ballpoint habits. If you're using MD Notebooks, this is the pen designed specifically for that paper. If you're fountain pen-curious but intimidated, this removes most of the reasons to be scared.
