Pen Type-A

A balance of simplicity, precision and substance since 2012.

Machined from stainless steel, Pen Type-A® comes in 4 variants.

The Classic variant has an engraved imperial + metric ruler and is available in a glass bead stainless finish or with a black cerakote.

The Architect scale version features either an imperial architect scale.

The clean and smooth cylindrical pen slides neatly into its sleeve, held in by a magnet once in its final position.

You’ll note a slight popping sound when removing it from its sheath—the effect of high tolerances creating a pneumatic seal, much like a piston.

Pen Type-A is manufactured with quality and care at a multi-generation machine shop in Vermont, USA.

In 2023, it was added to the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum's permanent collection.
