Visconti Homo Sapiens (All Collections)

The Homo Sapiens is handmade from hardened basaltic lava sourced from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy. Visconti lava is ultra strong, comfortable and warm to the touch - and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing moisture from your hand. The pen caps using the Visconti 'Hook Safe Lock', a revolutionary capping system so you can cap a pen without worrying about the cap accidentally unscrewing in your pocket and leaking. The fountain pen's vacuum power filler is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion, and features a two-tone 23k palladium nib.

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
