Aurora Talentum Finesse Pink
Aurora Talentum Finesse Pink
The perfect pen for a pocket or purse, the Aurora Talentum Finesse Pink offers small pen versatility in a bright and playful design.
The Finesse Pink has a barrel length of just under four inches, but with the cap comfortably posted, reaches a full-size length size.
Even with its compact profile, the Talentum Finesse still utilizes Aurora's cartridge-converter system - Aurora's high volume cartridges rival the capacity of many piston-fillers.
The clutch-cap mechanism means this pen is always ready to go into action - this is a terrific writing instrument to carry in a purse, pocket, or along with a day planner.
Aurora nib units are designed to be easily interchangeable. The Talentum Finesse Pink ships with your choice of any of Aurora's Small 14k White Gold nib units.
Aurora 14k nibs are also well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, or Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex
The splashes of chrome trim on the cap ends, rings, and clip further lights up this already lively fountain pen.

Customization Guide
Stub
Ā 
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. Ā A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
Ā 
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
Ā Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left ObliqueĀ customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that toĀ Architectās Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes.Ā This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or HebraicĀ calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, theĀ Mottishaw Spencerian CustomizationĀ has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views!
