Just 10cm long and impossible to leave behind. Anterique's Mini borrows the look of a 1960s American ballpoint, shrinks it to pocket size, and pairs two colors on every body so no two feel quite the same.

Inside is the good stuff: ultra-low-viscosity Mach Ball ink and a spring-loaded 0.5mm tip that lays down a dark, extra-fine black line without the drag or blobbing of an ordinary ballpoint. Click-top, refillable with the R-BP10 cartridge, and made in Japan. Perfect clipped to a pocket notebook or passport-size Traveler's.
