Lamy Pens

There is a lot to love about Lamy. From the modern design to the fine workmanship there is a pen for everyone. Their design is intended to be timeless and modern - perfect for any occasion, whether it’s school, work, university, or special occasions.

Lamy recognizes that everyone has unique handwriting - straight or sloped, large, plain or elaborate. The goal is to make using Lamy pens a special experience no matter your writing style.

About the Lamy Company

Josef Lamy was a sales representative for Parker Pens in Germany. In 1930 he decided to create his own pen by purchasing the Orthos pen manufacturer in Heidelberg.

Lamy Fountain Pens

While Lamy has rollerball, ballpoint and other pens we will focus on fountain pens. A fountain pen is the right choice whenever you want to put pen to paper in your most beautiful handwriting. Not only is it the design that we appreciate but also the high level of comfort when using a Lamy pen. Equipped with a high-quality stainless steel or gold nib, they get the very best out of your handwriting.

Which Nib Size Should I Use?

One of the questions we get asked the most is Which nib size should I use?"

When it comes to nibs, we have a number of choices because everyone has a different style of handwriting. We have the perfect nib for your style.

Medium Sized Nib

The medium sized nib is suitable for almost everyone. Therefore this size comes standard with our fountain pens. The reason it's such a great nib is its slightly rounded tip to help prevent scratching and to form a line that's neither to thick or too thin.

Left-Handed? No Problem!

Made for all the left-handed writers in the world, this nib is similar to the medium nib except for a small, essential difference - it's slightly oblique which makes it ideal for left-handed writers.

Fine and Broad Nibs

When choosing the right nib width, you can take a look at your writing to determine if you write a smaller or larger script. If your writing is small, then a fine tip might be right for you. If your script is large then a broad nib will suit your better.

There are a lot more nib options with Lamy than we've included in this blog. Lamy has also created a video all about nibs!

5 Reasons to Love Writing with Lamy 

1. Ergonomically Designed

Lamy pens are designed ergonomically to help prevent fatigue when writing.

Writing with a fountain pen can help develop coordination and concentration. The effort of guiding the fountain pen in the direction necessary for ink to flow evenly is a challenge to fine motor skills. This effort is where focus and the use of coordination is important.

3. Writing and Memory

Writing in general helps adults and children to better memorize what they are writing. 

4. Improved script

Better writing as it takes more time and effort to write with a fountain pen,
