Gravitas - Monster Aluminium | Cherry Velvet | – Pen Venture

Precision Engineering. Radical Innovation. Timeless Design. The Monster

Don't be misled by the name, The Monster is not an oversized fountain pen. It’s a thoughtfully crafted writing instrument, inspired by the classic Gravitas Vac silhouette and refined with modern engineering. Every curve, every proportion has been carefully considered to create a fountain pen that feels bold yet perfectly balanced in the hand.

Disclaimer ! - the combination of the sleek finish and the lack of the clip makes this pen to easy roll off the table/desk or slip off the pocket while in carry, the result of such unfortunate events can be a pen barrel cracked and/or split where the clear acrylic meets the aluminium section threads. Such unfortunate accidents are not covered by warranty !

Crafted from materials like - Aluminium (anodised), Optical Grade Acrylic and 304 Stainless Steel, the Monster delivers a writing experience that is both substantial and effortless. Its weight and balance have been optimized through meticulous design and strategic material choices, offering comfort without compromise. Ergonomic due to its bead blasting texture of the Aluminium section - The Monster is a comfortable choice even for an extended writing session. The Monster is featuring a inner Delrin cap sleeve which allows for a smooth posting and a smooth feel in capping and uncapping.

At the core of The Monster lies the Kraken Filling System, a revolutionary filling mechanism born from a surprising source: medical device research. While developing retractable pens, Ben Walsh the lead designer of Gravitas explored shut-off valves and sealing solutions used in mechanical devices - heart valves. The result? A precision-engineered system that offers reliable and efficient operation, vacuum integrity and a unique tactile experience that sets it apart from traditional vacumatic filling systems.

When installed in The Monster - Kraken Filling System brings a huge ink volume of 7ml of ink at full load (full Namiki Emperor ink load - 6ml ink) and an outstanding vacuum integrity due to the use of specialised quad ring* (*a two contact point square ring which maintains a lubricant in between contact points ensuring constant lubricant delivery each time when used) translating in a efficient suction of ink with even one plunge.

The writing point of The Monster is a steel size 8 nib paired with an ebonite feeder - available in 4 sizes : Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad. The Monster Cherry Velvet comes with a black color nib.

Monster is more than a writing instrument. It’s innovation you can feel, in every detail, every line, every word you write.

A little pen with plenty of character

I’m so pleased with this Quark. The pocket format and stonewashed zirconium make it a distinctive addition to my collection, and I love its character. I’m very happy I chose this version. My experience with Pen Venture has been excellent, and I’d happily buy from them again.

Very happy with my titanium Sentry

I’m extremely happy with this Sentry. The simple design and raw titanium give it an understated look that I really appreciate. I already enjoy Gravitas pens, and I’m very pleased to have added this one to my collection. Another purchase from Pen Venture that I’m glad I made.

Absolutely delighted with this Monster

I absolutely love this pen. The combination of machined titanium and Ultem gives the Monster so much character, and I’m very happy to have it in my collection. It was a purchase I was excited about, and I’m delighted with it. I’ve had lovely experiences buying from Pen Venture, and I’m happy to recommend both the pen and the shop.

Gravitas Monster

This pen has already been widely reviewed on the internet and agree with all the accolades that it has received. This pen advances fountain pen technology in the materials it uses and the never-before-seen improvements in vacuum filling. These technological innovations are combined with truly excellent machining and a custom nib that is a dream to write with.

The pen is absolutely a KING 👑 what a master beast! THANK YOU Pen Venture. I have a best and first time order from you guys and it's not going to be the last for sure.
