The modern ballpoint, which has a long and fascinating history, is still quite relevant. While other pen types have gained popularity and fountain pens have seen a resurgence, ballpoints have gotten much better as well.
Ballpoints are no longer the default writing utensil they once were, but they are still useful and pretty great for writing.
The Ballograf Epoca uses a slightly modified Parker style G2 refill. The lower, metal component is identical to that of the Parker G2 but the upper plastic part is shorter, hollow, and does not have the stepping found on the Parker style.
The Ballograf Epoca P is the Eames Lounge of pens. It’s stylish, reliable, and has withstood the test of time like few other pens. It’s affordable and versatile. If you could only use one pen for the rest of your life, it would be in the running.
