Montegrappa Miya Carbon Yellow
Montegrappa Miya Carbon Yellow
Carbon fibre on the barrel and brightly colored celluloid brings a modern, sporty twist to the Miya fountain pen in the Miya Carbon. Simple details like the red lacquer on the inside of the clip and an octagonal motif on the cap band elevates the Miya Carbon to new levels of luxury. Available in Black, Orange, or Yellow.
The Montegrappa Miya Carbon fountain pen takes the classic Miya line to new levels of modernity with its carbon fiber barrel and colorful cap ends.
Carbon fiber is known for both its strength and its lightness, two seemingly opposing qualities that this futuristic material manages to simultaneously exhibit.
Bright colors and rhodium trim on each fountain pen help to carry on the tradition of the Montegrappa Miya.
Full-bodied and curvaceous, the Miya Carbon has the sleek lines of a sports car. It can race across the paper with its sporty looks, but still remains timeless and built to last. The Anteros roadster seen to the right has a body made from the same carbon fiber material as the Miya Carbon.
If you take a closer look, you can see Montegrappa's new visual signature, below - red lacquer finish on the back of the clip. This splash of sleek color adds a hidden element of visual intrigue and luxury.
Available only as a special order item, the Montegrappa Miya Carbon can be made available with your choice of 18k nib.

Customization Guide
Stub
|
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. 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
|
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
 |
Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique 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 to Architect’s 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. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization 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.
