Don Norman author of numerous design books has a savory website where he shares many of his erudite and insightful essays on the science and philosophy of design. In a particularly charming essay he writes about several well designed objects. After reading this essay I am going to have to go out and purchase the best fountain pen I have ever seen
they are retractable non-leaking fountain pens. Mmmm fountain pen.

Yes, they do retract and they do not leak. I use cartridges instead of filling from a bottle, maybe that cuts the likelihood of leaks. The points are very fine – so, what they call F is very fine, like a 0.5mm rollerpen. The pen looks good, it writes fabulously. Ink cartridge prices are typical, but maybe more expensive per “inch of ink” than a Pilot Precise rollerpen, for example.
