The Ductus series represents another step forward in the history of Pelikan writing instruments: it closes the gap between the brand’s familiar traditional instruments and its trendy modern designs.
This has been achieved by modifying such fundamental classic features as the proportions of the pen, the curved and tapered form of the clip, the shape, material and embellishment of the nib and the recessed grip area. In accordance with a philosophy of evolutionary design, all these features have been translated into an overall unity and cohesiveness of line.
With its distinguished “pin-stripe” design, representing a modern interpretation of the characteristic Pelikan striped pattern, these writing instruments fit perfectly into the modern business world, without losing their formal link to their more traditional predecessors.
In times when mobility is a key factor in everyday, and especially professional, life, the cartridge filling system represents a contemporary and practical solution. Although the Ductus fountain pen still has the classic proportions of a piston mechanism pen, the filling knob at the end of the barrel has been made to form part of a "cartridge holder" which can be completely unscrewed and removed when the pen is filled.
