Aurora Talentum Rubber Finesse Black Rubberized
The Aurora Talentum Finesse Black Rubber with chrome trim fountain pen features a rubber surface over high quality resin. Small in size but highly versatile, this is an excellent pen for on-the-go use.
The Aurora Talentum Finesse Black Rubber offers small pen versatility with all the quality and style associated with the Aurora brand. The Finesse has a barrel length of just under four inches, but with the cap comfortably posted, reaches a full-size length. The clutch-cap mechanism means this pen is always ready to go into action - this is a terrific writing instrument to carry in a pocket, purse, or along with a day planner.
Even with its compact size, the Finesse series pens still utilize Aurora's standard cartridge-converter system - Aurora's high-volume cartridges have a capacity that rivals that of many piston-fillers.
The black rubber body gives a smooth, matte look
in sharp contrast with the high-tech, sleek chrome of the trim.

Aurora nib units are designed to be easily interchangeable.
A chrome clip allows the pen to be securely fastened to a shirt pocket.

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! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy.
