Introducing the Dodici - Midnight fountain pen in a Primary Manipulation resin crafted exclusively for us by the renowned J. Brooks. Created by Leonardo Officina Italiana, Midnight presents the twelve facets that will define the new Dodici model. This faceted design enhances the elegance of your writing instrument, also being complemented by the ink window so the opaque materials do not hinder your view of the ink level in the Dodici.

The name of the model "Dodici" it translates to "twelve" in Italian, representing each of the twelve faces of this unique fountain pen. The pen's design is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with each facet reflecting the skill and artistry involved in its creation, polished by hand each of the twelve facets captures the light and shines each time you get to turn the pen. The unique factor of the Primary Manipulation material makes up each of the 73 pens individual featuring a randomly dispersion of silver and purple. 

We chose the name "Midnight" for this exclusive edition as it captures the essence of a deep midnight sky at "Dodici" O'clock. Much like the cosmic lights that dance in the vastness of the universe, the Midnight Fountain Pen plays with depth and hues to create a spectacular visual experience. As you write with this pen, envision yourself under the starlit sky, where the lights of the universe come alive.

Limited to just 73 pieces, each Dodici Midnight Fountain Pen is a collector's item, promising exclusivity and sophistication just like any other Pen Venture exclusive collection. Scheduled deliveries will commence after the 15th of December, making it an ideal holiday gift for the discerning pen enthusiast in your life. Dodici features a in house made piston filling mechanism with its frame made from aluminium, detachable with the Leonardo piston tool.

Fantastic Pen!

This is a fantastic pen! First off the pen is stunning. I love the highly polished facets made from amazing Brooks acrylic. I love how the cap facets always line up with facets on body of pen. The piston works really smoothly. The number 8 nib is a stunner! This is a big pen but feels very comfortable in the hand while writing. The nib is buttery smooth. I purchased a fine nib which is on wider side of fine nib spectrum, as expected. The nib is perfect! It writes every stroke with no missed opportunities to put ink on the page. I love the ink window. I wholeheartedly agree with Emy - all piston fillers should have an ink window. I am 100% pleased with this purchase. Bravo Pen Venture for an amazing pen!!

Amazing pen

This pen is absolutely beautiful in the hand. Photos don’t do it justice. The new faceted design gives it more depth and aesthetic appeal. Feels great in the hand. The nib gives an effortless writing experience. The shopping experience was very easy and Emy makes it very pleasant. Also, buying a pen from a true and experienced pen enthusiast is always a joy. You know you’re getting a flawless pen.

Fantastic fountain pen!

This pen is just stunning in person, it's hard to capture on photograph. It is also a great fit for my hand. The nib has been tuned to my preference and glides effortlessly across the page.
This is the most expensive pen I own and I have no regrets buying it.
Many thanks go out to Emy for his lovely customer service and incredible attention to detail!

INCREDIBLE Design Even Better NIB!!!

WOW. That is how I’d describe the Dodoci Midnight. I’m admittedly a Leonardo fan to begin with, however, Leonardo and Emy knocked it out of the park with this form factor, resin, and #8 nib.

The moment I put this in my hand I was impressed at how neat this felt with all the facets. Totally different than any other pen I’ve held. I inked it with Colorverse Quasar and the first downstroke just let out a gasp of pleasure.

This Broad nib is one of the best nibs in my entire collection. It is wet, juicy, and BUTTER smooth! It competes with the Pelikan m1000. If this is how these #8 nibs are going to write, I’m going to need several more!

I have several of the Pen Venture Exclusives and Emy has outdone himself with this one.

Best Pen I’ve Ever Had!

It’s the smoothest pen and it’s so comfortable to use that it’s as if it was made especially to fit in my hand. The purple + black + silver combination has such a gorgeous, gorgeous effect, I can’t seem to stop staring at it. I also love that it’s a piston filler and that it packs over 1ml of ink, very convenient for me because I take a lot of notes at work, and I maintain a few journals/planners. Using it all day felt right in my hand and I felt no strains. I think it’s my favorite pen to date. As for sales, Pen Venture was very patient with me for fielding my many queries that I’ve sent the pst two months when I was mulling over this purchase, and when I finally did make the purchase, they shipped my pen right away. Thank you, Pen Venture, for this work of art, and for being so kind and attentive to a first-time customer!
